Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cement is a very common and important material in civil engineering construction, which includes: CaO-based cement and MgO-based cement. Magnesia-based cement has many advantages over calcium cement in terms of performance, but its shortcomings also limit its applications in civil engineering. In recent years, a large amount of fruitful theoretical and applied research has been conducted on the defects of magnesia-based cement, including magnesium phosphate cement, modified magnesium oxysulfide cement, basic magnesium sulfate cement, and magnesium oxychloride cement. Additionally, the application of CO2 and solid waste in magnesia-based cement is a research hotspot for energy conservation, emission reduction, and the sustainable development of building materials.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
