Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, With the development of modern society, more innovative construction structures and materials have been developed for further sustainable development. In addition to the very important structural safety, reliability, and durability performances, sustainable construction has become topical for researchers and engineers. To achieve the sustainability of construction and to ensure the safety and durability of the structures under combined loads and environments, novel design, construction, and treatment methods are constantly being invented by researchers around the world. This Special Issue is focused on “Innovative Structures and Materials: Analysis, Design, and Application” and will span sustainable materials, high-performance materials, pioneering structural design, and retrofitting applied in the modern construction industry, which will be one important part of Sustainable Engineering and Science. We welcome the submission of high-quality research, review articles, and white papers focusing on the following topics, but are not limited to, to the following:

• Innovative structural design and analysis,

• Design for deconstruction or demountable structures,

• Reuse in construction,

• Offsite construction,

• High deformable structures,

• Eco construction materials,

• Additive manufacturing and 3D printing for structural applications,

• Textile reinforced concrete,

• Fiber-reinforced polymer,

• Behavior and modeling of innovative materials,

• Steel-concrete composite structures (CFT, SRC, confined RC, etc.),

• Supplementary cementing materials (SCM)

• Engineered cementitious composite (ECC),

• Structural repairing and retrofitting,

• Durable materials and structures,

• Precast concrete structures,

• Structural dynamic behavior and design,

• Structural design considering multiple environmental impacts,

• Structural safety under long-term loads.

All submissions to this Special Issue will be selected via a rigorous peer-review procedure. This Special Issue will pave the way for further eco and durable, high-performance, and smart structures and materials for further promoting the sustainable development of human society, which can contribute to generating a low-carbon and smart built environment.
