Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, the recent advances in green concrete have brought us closer than ever to creating building materials that are even stronger than conventional concrete, being less harmful to the environment. Green concrete may refer to more eco-friendly cement technologies that are either in development or currently available on the market. Its production process needs to be more friendly to the environment. The sustainability of the materials involved needs to be considered when determining which concretes qualify as green. More research related to green concrete has been conducted, and yet this is not enough to provide for the current demand on the market. Therefore, more new studies may need to be proposed in the Special Issue for the development of green concrete.
