The contributions to the Issue span from construction materials (asphalt and concrete) to structural ceramics to ice. Data reported in the Issue were obtained by advanced microstructural techniques (microscopy, 3D imaging, etc.) and linked to mechanical properties (and their changes as a function of aging, composition, etc.). The description of the mechanical behavior of brittle materials under operational loads, for instance, concrete and ceramics under very high temperatures, offers an unconventional viewpoint on the behavior of such materials. While it is by no means exhaustive, this Special Issue paves the road for the fundamental understanding and further development of materials.Research & information: generalbicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscrestraintcreepdouble feedback methodconcretetemperature stress testing machine (TSTM)alkali-activated slagelevated temperaturesNa2O concentrationresidual strengthbrittlenessmeltingFiber-reinforced concreteX-ray computed tomography (CT)anisotropic fiber orientationinverse analysissilicasuper-insulating materialsinstrumented indentationporosityelectro-fused zirconiamicrocrackingsynchrotron x-ray refraction radiography (SXRR)thermal expansionicehigh rate loadingcompressive loadingSplit Hopkinson barin-situ fractographybiomaterialsbioceramicscoatingmechanical propertiesexisting buildingsreinforced concreteseismic vulnerability assessmentin situ concrete strengthvariability of concrete strengthhigh speed railwaySBS/CR modified asphaltlong-term aginganti-agingengineered cementitious compositessteel gridfibertensile capacityenergy dissipationceramicsasphaltmicrostructurestrengthResearch & information: generalTechnology: general issuesBruno Giovanniedt355814Bruno GiovanniothBOOK9910674040203321Brittle Materials in Mechanical Extremes3059288UNINA
