Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The selection of a suitable material that achieves the sustainability concept is considered a significant step in the construction process—in particular, the selection of suitable materials that meet product performance goals at minimum cost. While there has been a major development in the material manufacturing technologies that aims to acquire the sustainability concept, the challenge remains to turn the use of advanced sustainability material into a value-adding framework for innovation in processes, technologies, and construction.

This Special Issue aims to investigate the ability to develop an eco-friendly sustainable construction through the use of advanced material while preserving the framework of environmental and social impact.

In particular, the main topics that this Special Issue should cover are:

1- The effect of the choice of advanced sustainable material on the life cycling of a constructed building;

2-The integration of advanced material in promoting the sustainability design in construction.
