Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainability is now at the core of research activity due to the high demand for sustainable materials, methods, and processes. The concrete industry is a major greenhouse gas emitter and consumer of natural resources, resulting in significant social, economic, and environmental impacts. Sustainable concrete is the key to curbing these problems. This Special Issue aims to collate original research and review articles focusing on the durability and time-dependent behaviors of sustainable concrete. Current trends and future research directions on the durability and time-dependent properties of concrete comprising recycled or waste materials, such as crumb rubber, recycled concrete, fly ash, slag, plastic wastes, glass waste, and more, are covered.
