The development and application of sustainable construction materials are crucial steps toward creating environmentally friendly and low-carbon buildings. However, on the one hand, the significant increase in solid construction waste has raised global environmental concerns. On the other hand, the shortage of raw materials in concrete production has triggered concern about whether they can meet the escalating demand.
To address these issues, sustainable construction material is a promising direction, such as recycled aggregate concrete, geopolymer concrete, limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) concrete, etc. In order to promote the application of sustainable construction materials in practical engineering, it is essential to study the structural behavior and durability of structures made with sustainable construction materials. Structural design methods can be proposed based on AI technology to improve the efficiency in the utilization of sustainable construction materials.
This Research Topic aims to collect the latest studies related to structural behavior and durability of structures made with sustainable construction materials. Covered topics include, but are not limited to:
• Methods to improve the properties of sustainable construction materials
• Mechanical properties of green structures
• Durability of green structures
• Green structures under extreme loads and environments
• AI-based structural design
• Structural application
