In response to these issues, academic and industrial efforts around the world have been devoted to developing new smart materials that can provide efficient alternatives, improve the energy efficiency of buildings, or can upgrade, repair, or protect existing infrastructures. Different and wide technological innovations are, therefore, quickly fostering advancements in the field of construction materials. A new generation of materials (bricks, cement, coatings, concrete, FRP, glass, masonry, mortars, nano-materials, PCM, polymers, steel, wood, etc.) is gaining a prominent position in modern building technology, since they can overcome various limits and flaws of conventional materials employed in constructions, without neglecting the smart applications of pioneering materials in ancient constructions and historic buildings. Even though the adoption of innovative materials in the construction field has been a successful route in achieving enhanced performance, or even new and unexpected characteristics, some issues have not been completely solved. On top of them, the cost/performance ratio of novel solutions, since their introduction must be convenient, without compromising quality. Other concerns are related to their sustainability, with eco-friendly options, possibly exploiting recycled materials or by-products from other productions, being the most desirable solution. Finally, the use of materials or systems that are unconventional in this field raises the need to update or develop new specifications and standards. This special issue aims at providing a platform for discussing open issues, challenges, and achievements related to innovative materials proposed for the construction industry. 606 $aResearch and information: general$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $a27Al MAS NMR 610 $aaircraft load-bearing structures 610 $aanalytic hierarchy process (AHP) 610 $abacteria 610 $abiocement 610 $abiocementation 610 $abitumen emulsion 610 $abond strength 610 $abuilding construction 610 $aCa7ZrAl6O18 610 $acement 610 $acement hydration 610 $acircular economy 610 $acold in-place recycling 610 $acomposite material 610 $acompressive strength 610 $aconcrete headed GFRP rebar 610 $aconcrete system form 610 $aconstruction 610 $acultural heritage 610 $adevelopment length 610 $adurability 610 $aenergy fracture 610 $aequilibrium path 610 $afinite elements method 610 $aflexural strength 610 $afreezing and thawing 610 $aglass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebar 610 $agypsum 610 $ahydraulic lime 610 $aimmobilization of radioactive Sr 610 $aisogrid 610 $ajute 610 $aladle furnace slag 610 $amaterial property 610 $amaterial selection 610 $amechanical characterization 610 $amechanical properties 610 $aMICP 610 $amicrobially induced calcium carbonate precipitation 610 $amortars 610 $an/a 610 $anatural plant fiber 610 $aNHL 610 $anonlinear numerical analyses 610 $aphase change material (PCM) 610 $aphase-change materials (PCM) 610 $aprecast concrete deck 610 $aproject performance 610 $aquasi-brittle material 610 $areclaimed asphalt pavements 610 $arefractories 610 $aretrofitting 610 $ashrinkage-reducing agent 610 $asimple compressive strength 610 $aspacing factor 610 $asplitting tensile strength 610 $aSr-rich (Sr,C)3AH6 610 $astability 610 $astrengthening 610 $asustainable materials for buildings 610 $athermal energy storage 610 $athermal energy storage (TES) 610 $athermal properties 610 $athree-point bending test 610 $aultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) 610 $aureolytic bacteria 610 $awaste 615 7$aResearch and information: general 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aFrigione$b Mariaenrica$4edt$01297568 702 $ade Aguiar$b Jose?
