Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern construction technologies incorporate new materials and design technologies that allow efficient use of raw materials and reuse of waste products. Recently, increasing attention has been focused on efforts toward developing sustainable approaches that allow achieving a balance between the natural and built environment. The latter should correspond to human development, considering ecological requirements. From this viewpoint, one of the main solutions for environmentally friendly construction is reuse of waste products. Preferable ways for reusing waste products in building materials should also be based on suitable energy effective technologies.
Developing effective design methodologies, allowing optimal use of natural resources, and reusing waste products in construction has great importance all over the world.
The purpose of this call for papers is to exchange recent scientific results related to reuse of various wastes as raw materials for “Recycling and Development of New Building Materials or Products”.
Researchers are invited to share their knowledge on the design of effective ecologically friendly construction materials or products that can be used in construction.
Prof. Dr. Yuri Ribakov
