Building and Infrastructure Engineering: Sustainable Utilization of Innovative Eco-Efficient Materials—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The world faces significant challenges in mitigating environmental impacts in the building and infrastructure sectors. In recent years, obtaining building materials has become increasingly difficult due to the continuous depletion of natural resources without substantial regeneration. Scientific research has identified more efficient and sustainable construction materials. In this context, various types of agricultural, industrial, municipal, and mining wastes have been reused in different construction processes from the perspective of the circular economy.

We are pleased to invite you to contribute papers to this Special Issue on the sustainable utilization of eco-efficient components and systems in building and infrastructure engineering, contributing to a more productive and sustainable construction industry.

This Special Issue aims to showcase recent works on the fundamentals and practices of innovative strategies for recycling different types of wastes in the construction field, with emphasis on the design, characterization, simulation, and/or practical application of eco-efficient construction materials.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• The incorporation of wastes into building and infrastructure materials;
• Storage, treatment, and recycling methodologies in the construction industry;
• Low-emission construction materials;
• Environmental assessments in the built environment;
• The circular built environment;
• Sustainable development.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Gustavo Henrique Nalon
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
