Construction and Building Materials provides an international forum for the dissemination of innovative and original research and development in the field of construction and building materials and their application in new works and to repair practices. The journal publishes a wide range of innovative research and application papers which describe original laboratory works and experimental campaigns.
Multi-part papers are discouraged. Construction and Building Materials only publishes review articles on priority topics invited by the editors.
The journal focuses on construction and building materials; we do not consider papers that focus on structural engineering, materials chemistry, geotechnics, mining, backfill, soil or rock mechanics, and unbound road or railway bed layers. Construction materials and technology covers topics including: cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibres, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials and railway material applications.
The scope of Construction and Building Materials includes, but is not restricted to, materials, NDT and monitoring aspects of new works and repair and maintenance of civil engineering structures including: bridges, buildings, dams, silos, highway pavements, water containment structures, housing, coastal defences and railways.
At a time when the pressure is on engineers, architects and contractors to optimise their use of new materials and up-to-date technologies, Construction and Building Materials provides essential information that will help to improve efficiency, productivity and competitiveness in world markets. Construction and Building Materials is therefore vital reading for all professionals and academics involved with research into, or specification of, building materials.
Author duties: Submissions shall adhere to the highest standards of research and publication ethics as described in the Guide for Authors.
