Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I invite you to submit articles on the following issues:
- use of waste materials as a component of cement mortar and concrete and their impact on its mechanical parameters and durability;
- use of waste materials as a component of geopolymer and their impact on its mechanical parameters and durability; and
- the use of recycled and waste materials as elements of building materials and assessment of their impact on the natural environment (toxicity, immobilization).
