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 issuesbicsscalkali-activated slaganisotropic fiber orientationanti-agingasphaltbioceramicsbiomaterialsbrittlenessceramicscoatingcompressive loadingconcretecreepdouble feedback methodelectro-fused zirconiaelevated temperaturesenergy dissipationengineered cementitious compositesexisting buildingsfiberFiber-reinforced concretehigh rate loadinghigh speed railwayicein situ concrete strengthin-situ fractographyinstrumented indentationinverse analysislong-term agingmechanical propertiesmeltingmicrocrackingmicrostructureNa2O concentrationporosityreinforced concreteresidual strengthrestraintSBS/CR modified asphaltseismic vulnerability assessmentsilicaSplit Hopkinson barsteel gridstrengthsuper-insulating materialssynchrotron x-ray refraction radiography (SXRR)temperature stress testing machine (TSTM)tensile capacitythermal expansionvariability of concrete strengthX-ray computed tomography (CT)Research & information: generalTechnology: general issuesBruno Giovanniedt355814Bruno GiovanniothBOOK9910674040203321Brittle Materials in Mechanical Extremes3059288UNINA
