Thus, any action intended to enhance the sustainability of the construction industry must consider the supply chain, production, distribution demolition and eventual disposal, landfilling or recycling of this composite material. High-performance concrete may be one of the most effective options to make the construction sector more sustainable. Experience proves that the use of recycled concrete aggregates, as well as the partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement with other supplementary cementitious materials or alternative binders, are generally accepted as the most realistic solutions to reduce the environmental impacts, leading to sufficiently high mechanical performances. In structural applications such as those concerning the seismic and energy retrofitting of existing buildings, the use of high-performance cementitious composites often represents the more cost-effective solution, which allows us to minimize the costs of the intervention and the environmental impact. Eventually, the challenge of enhancing sustainability by raising durability of concrete structures is particularly relevant in those applications where maintenance is particularly expensive and impactful, in terms of both direct intervention costs and indirect costs deriving from downtime. The present Special Issue aims at providing readers with the most recent research results on the aforementioned subjects and further foster a collaboration between the scientific community and the industrial sector on a common commitment towards sustainable concrete constructions. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $aaggressive environment 610 $abasalt 610 $abridges 610 $acase study 610 $acement replacement 610 $aconcrete 610 $aconcrete overlay 610 $aconcrete properties 610 $acreep 610 $adigital microscopy 610 $adrying and autogenous shrinkage 610 $adurability 610 $aenergy performance of buildings 610 $aenvironmental assessment 610 $aexisting beams 610 $aexisting infrastructures 610 $aflexural strength 610 $afly ash 610 $afreeze-thaw cycles 610 $amechanical properties 610 $amoment-curvature relationship 610 $amortars 610 $aMSWI bottom ash 610 $amultilayer coating 610 $an/a 610 $apoint thermal bridges 610 $apozzolanic activity 610 $aprecast elements 610 $aprestress losses 610 $aprestressed concrete 610 $apush-off test 610 $arecycled aggregate 610 $arecycled aggregate concrete 610 $arecycled concrete 610 $arecycled concrete aggregate 610 $arecycled concrete powder 610 $arecycled natural basalt 610 $aretrofitting method 610 $aseismic retrofitting 610 $ashear bond 610 $ashear strength 610 $ashrinkage 610 $aslags 610 $aSteel Fiber Reinforced Mortar 610 $astrengthening 610 $asupplementary cementing materials 610 $asurface roughness 610 $asustainability 610 $atensile bond strength 610 $athermal behavior in summer 610 $aUHPFRC 610 $awater-retaining structures 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aMinelli$b Fausto$4edt$01332301 702 $aMartinelli$b Enzo$4edt 702 $aFacconi$b Luca$4edt 702 $aMinelli$b Fausto$4oth 702 $aMartinelli$b Enzo$4oth 702 $aFacconi$b Luca$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910580204403321 996 $aInnovative Structural Applications of High Performance Concrete Materials in Sustainable Construction$93040801 997 $aUNINA
