Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you for manuscript submission to a unique Special Issue of the journal Buildings focusing on current and innovative approaches to the testing, designing, and numerical modelling of materials and pavements in cities and urban areas.
The current trend development of new building materials used in pavement in urban cities requires up-to-date analyses in terms of detecting defects and damage to the pavement. The scope of the Special Issue includes results of studies on materials and pavements used by: vehicles, bicycles, public transport (buses, trams), and pedestrians.
Areas of interest for this issue are:
- Testing of pavement materials for use in cities and urban areas;
- Assessment of damage to materials and pavements;
- Pavement strength capacity assessment systems;
- Modelling and numerical analyses;
- Methods and technologies of pavement reconstruction.
