Sustainable Building Materials Research

This special issue belongs to the section “Sustainable Materials“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The building materials industry faces a variety of challenges, such as climate change, deterioration in material durability, and reduced performance of existing structures. Sustainable development is an essential theme in the building materials industry. The government, academia, and the business community are making continuous efforts to meet the challenges and achieve the goal of sustainable development.

The primary purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for the sustainable development of building materials and to provide realistic and feasible solutions for the sustainable development of building materials. The main interests of this Special Issue include the design of sustainable building materials, the performance evaluation of sustainable building materials, and the application of sustainable building materials in civil engineering structures. This Special Issue welcomes original papers and review papers. Thank you for your contributions.

Dr. Xiao Yong Wang
Guest Editor
