Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, Construction Demolition Waste (CDW) is gaining interest to be recycled, reuse and utilizing in the construction building sectors. The Construction Demolition Waste is responsible for a great reduction of natural resources, carbon footprint and environmental pollution. This has motivated the construction building sectors for alternative research on materials production and performance of Construction Demolition Waste in the production of concrete structures. In this context, Physical, Chemical and Mechanical Properties requires to understand the performance of Construction Demolition Waste as alternative building material for the sustainable environment. This special issue will give the opportunity to share their innovative process, preparation techniques and performance study on the Construction Demolition Waste. The will help the researchers to carried out investigations on sustainable development from different countries. We are looking for the papers related to the study of the Construction Demolition Waste, namely in the following topics:
- Innovative materials adaptive as building material;
- Preparation/Treatment process of Construction Demolition Waste;
- Structural and non-structural performance analysis of materials;
- Sustainability applications of alternative materials;
- Life cycle assessment of building material;
- Other topics related to the innovative investigations on Construction Demolition Waste as alternative building materials for a sustainable built environment.
