For this reason, the articles highlighted in this editorial relate to different aspects of testing of different materials and elements in civil engineering, from building materials to building structures. The current trend in the development of testing of materials and elements in civil engineering is mainly concerned with the detection of flaws and defects in concrete elements and structures, and acoustic methods predominate in this field. As in medicine, the trend is towards designing test equipment that allows one to obtain a picture of the inside of the tested element and materials. Interesting results with significance for building practices were obtained.Technology: general issuesbicsscacceptance angleacoustic emission diagnosticacoustic emission methodacoustic methodsAE acoustic emissionaggregateAl-Ti laminateamplitude attenuationArcan shear testasphalt mixautogenous shrinkage crackingbackfill materialbase layerbearing capacitybender elements testbending strengthbond strengthbottom-ashbrick wallsbrinebuilding materialscablecapable design momentcapacitycarbonationcarpentry jointscementcement dusty by-products (UCPPs)cement-fiber boardscivil engineeringcladdingclassificationclose-range photogrammetryclustering AE signalcolumncompaction indexcomparability of test methodscomplex moduluscompressive strengthcomputer simulationconcreteconcrete centrifugationconcrete cracking testconcrete floorsconcrete shrinkage cracking testconformity criteriaconnectionconstruction materialcontrolled low-strength material (CLSM)convolutional neural networkscorrosioncorrosion of reinforcementcrackingCT scandamage processes detection before loadingdamage variabledefectsdegradation of glass panelsdestructive testdetectiondiagnosticdiagnostic testingdigital image correlationdynamic elastic modulusdynamic responseearly age concreteeffective area ratioelastic rangeelastic-plastic materialelementsenergy absorptionerosional stabilityESD resinexpansion jointexperimental researchfailure modefast Fourier transformfatigue durabilityfiber cement boardfiber compositesfibre bragg grating sensorsfibre-reinforced concretefinite element methodfire safetyflexural strengthflexural tensile strengthflexural testfly-ashfoamed asphalt mixtures with cement (FAC)fracturefracture energyFRCMfreeze-thaw cyclesfrictional workFRP reinforcementFRTPgalvanostatic pulse methodgeopolymer concreteGFRPgirdergrain-size characteristicsgranite floorground penetrating radar (GPR)ground-penetrating radar (GPR)groundwatergrout mixturesgrouting qualityhigh-strength concretehistorical masonry wallHMA dielectric constanthybrid truss bridgehydration kineticshydration processeshygrothermal processesimage processingindustrial floorsindustrial waste managementinfiltration damageinternal insulationk-means algorithmlaboratory testinglandslideslarge-scale facade modellarge-slab ceramic tilelow-module polypropylene fibresmachine learningmechanical behaviormechanical propertiesmechanical properties of polyethylenemethods of assessmentmethods of testing resistance to fungimicro-computed tomographymicro-eventsmicrostructure characteristicsmineral-cement emulsion mixturesmining areasmoisture contentmoisture resistancemonitoringmonitoring FBGmonitoring fibre Bragg gratingmorphologynatural frequencyneural networknon-destructive techniques (NDT)non-destructive testnon-destructive testingnondestructive methodnuclear magnetic resonancenumerical analysisopening sizeorthotropic shear modulusP-waveP-wave velocityparticle crushingparticle flow code (PFC2D)partition wallspattern recognitionPBO meshPBO-FRCMphase composition analysisplasterboardspolyethylene pipeporositypost-tensionpower transmission towerprotonquality assessmentquasi-brittle cement compositesquasi-plastic materialramp testrandom field generationready-mixed concretereclaimed asphaltreclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP)recycled steel fibresrecyclingreinforced concretereinforced concrete beamsrelative mass lossresidual shear stressresidual-state creepresistance strainresistivityresonance frequency testrestrained ring testrestrined ring calibrationring shear testrivetroad pavement thickness estimationrock boltroughnessroundnessS-wavesafetysandsandstonesaturation frontscanning electron microscopyscarf and splice jointssemivariogramsshearshear wave velocityshort-time Fourier transformshrinkage analysissignal analysissliding friction coefficientslip resistanceslip resistance valuesodium chloridesound spectrumspin-lattice relaxometrystatic behaviourstatic elastic modulusstatic teststatistical-fuzzy methodsteel fibressteel-concrete connection jointstiffnessstiffness modulusstop-splayed scarf joints ('bolt of lightning')storage systemsstrainstrain/stress distributionstrength distributionstrength of structuresstructural health monitoringsuperplasticizersustainabilitysustainable test methodstab connectortensile strengthtest apparatustest uncertaintytestingtesting of building materialstexturethermal analysistilting angletraditional and quasi-brittle cement compositestransfer learningultrasonic tomographyultrasound measurementsultrasound testsultrasoundsunconfined compressive strengthvalidation of test methodsventilated facadesvisible light transmittancevolumetric parameterswall temperaturewaste paper sludge ash (WPSA)wavelet analysiswindblown sandwire meshwoodwood-plastic compositesX-rayX-ray analysisX-ray microtomographyTechnology: general issuesSchabowicz KrzysztofBOOK9910557365603321Testing of Materials and Elements in Civil Engineering3565922UNINA
