Sustainable Materials and Resilient Structures: Interdisciplinary Approaches
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The world faces significant challenges concerning climate change and resilience to natural hazards. In response, the construction industry has shifted towards sustainability and resilience, leading to various innovations and breakthroughs. This topic aims to solicit recent advances in developing sustainable materials and resilient structures, from the material to the structural level. Authors are cordially invited to present novel solutions to these challenges. Potential areas of focus include novel cement production, innovative usage, decarbonization, climate adaptation, fiber-reinforced composites, structural design, robust structures, advanced construction, multi-hazard mitigation, service life, and smart technologies integration. Emphasis should be on practical applicability, considering the evolving needs of resilient infrastructure construction and the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs).
