Engineering structures may be exposed to the extreme environment or under extreme loading conditions during their service life, such as seismic load, impact, high temperature, and corrosive environment, which may result in severe damage to the structures and cause tremendous casualties and property loss. The application of advanced materials, such as fiber reinforced cementitious composite and functional concrete, has gained worldwide interest in recent years due to their superior characteristics to traditional construction materials. By using the advanced material as a substitute or retrofitting material, it is expected that the performance of engineering structures could be improved substantially.
This Research Topic collection aims to publish original research and/or reviews on the investigation of advanced materials in civil engineering structures, in particular, their applications in the structures under extreme loading and/or environmental conditions. The experimental investigations, numerical simulations, and theoretical analyses that contribute to the field are all welcomed. It is expected that the collection will provide a forum for a blend of scientific and technical papers to reflect the evolving needs of the community, and disseminate knowledge between researchers, manufacturers, and designers involved in the application of advanced materials in civil engineering structures.
This Research Topic encourages the submissions of original research papers, comprehensive review papers, and mini-reviews dealing with advanced cementitious materials, especially their applications in the structures under extreme loading and/or environmental conditions. The topics addressed in this collection may include but are not limited to
• Fibre-reinforced cementitious composite
• Functional material
• Recycled waste
• Durability
• Environmental chemistry
• Fire resistance
• Impact/blast resistance
• Seismic behavior
