An international journal dedicated to the investigation and innovative use of materials in construction.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. Acceptance of a manuscript for publication carries with it an understanding that the author, when requested, will fulfil an obligation to contribute their expertise to the review of others' manuscripts.

Geotextiles and Geomembranes

An official Journal of the International Geosynthetics SocietyGeotextiles are permeable fabrics which, when used in association with soil, have the ability to separate, filter, reinforce, protect or drain. As the use of geotextile fabrics has expanded there has been the introduction of geotextile composites and the development of products such as geogrids and meshes. Overall these materials are referred to as geotextiles and related products. All have a wide range of applications and are currently used to advantage in many civil engineering applications including roads, airfields, railroads, embankments, retaining structures, reservoirs, canals, dams, bank protection and coastal engineering.Geomembranes are impermeable membranes used widely as cut-offs and liners. Until recent years, geomembranes were used mostly as canal and pond liners; however, one of the largest current applications is to the containment of hazardous or municipal wastes and their leachates. In many of these applications geomembranes are employed with geotextile or mesh underliners which reinforce or protect the more flexible geomembrane whilst also acting as an escape route for gases and leachates generated in certain wastes.The range of products and their applications has expanded rapidly over the last decade with geotextiles and geomembranes being specified world wide. This rapid growth is paralleled by a virtual explosion of technology. Current reference books and even manufacturers' sponsored publications tend to date very quickly and the need for a vehicle to bring together and discuss the growing body of technology now available has become evident.Geotextiles and Geomembranes fills this need and provides a forum for the dissemination of information amongst research workers, designers, users and manufacturers. By providing a growing fund of information the journal increases general awareness, prompts further research and assists in the establishment of international codes and regulations.Types of Contribution: Refereed technical papers covering research, design, construction, applications and case studies; technical notes, professional practice papers, book reviews, reports of conferences and meetings, and letters to the Editor. All technical papers are open to written discussion. No limit to length is set and short notes are acceptable. Review articles may also be published at intervals, but the subject and contents of these should be discussed first with the Editor.
