Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Undoubtedly, the construction industry has a great impact on the environment, economy, health, and productivity. Due to the recent developments in the construction industry, the necessary technology and knowledge are now provided for designers, builders, operators, and owners to have the best economic and environmental productivity by building green buildings. The origin of green building is the process of constructing environmentally friendly buildings and conserving energy. Especially in recent years, urban waste and environmental issues have become vital issues. Many recycling resources can be found in our living environment that, if not recycled, can cause significant environmental problems for our living environment, such as tires, iron powder, plastics, and so on. The important point is that these wastes can be reused in the construction industry. Using waste material in concrete manufacturing is an effective way to accomplish two goals: waste reduction and the addition of good and positive characteristics to concrete. Because the green concrete industry is growing, it is more important than ever to assess concrete-containing waste from all angles in order to determine its suitability. In this study, some experimental and numerical investigations have been conducted to evaluate the effect of waste materials on the compressive and tensile strength of concrete.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Impact of the construction industry on the environment, economy, health and productivity
- Technology and knowledge in the construction industry
- Environmental productivity of green building
- Urban waste and environmental issues in the construction industry
- The growth of the green concrete industry
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
