Structural Applications of Concrete with Recycled Solid Wastes and Alternatives for Cement Concrete, as the most widely utilized construction material, has long been central to discussions on sustainability due to its intensive consumption of natural resources and significant carbon footprint. In light of increasing environmental and economic challenges, there is a growing interest among researchers and engineers in developing sustainable alternatives by integrating recycled solid waste and alternative binders into concrete. This paradigm shift not only addresses issues of waste management and resource depletion but also supports the advancement of innovative, high-performance materials suitable for structural applications. This special issue compiles a diverse range of original research and review articles focused on recent advances in sustainable concrete. The contributions span material development, durability assessment, and emerging computational and experimental strategies for optimizing mix design and structural behavior. These works collectively highlight the transition toward environmentally responsible, high-performance construction solutions.Chen et al. proposed a systemic approach for the reuse of construction waste from abandoned buildings by establishing a material flow analysis and an evaluation index system.Their study identifies critical opportunities and challenges in the recycling process and offers a valuable framework for advancing circular economy practices within the built environment.In the realm of material development, Umar et al. investigated We extend our sincere appreciation to all authors for their contributions and to the editorial staff of Frontiers in Materials for facilitating this special issue.
