Description:
Construction and Building Materials provides an international forum for the dissemination of research and development in the
field of
construction and
building materials and their application in new works and repair practice. The journal publishes
a wide range of research and application papers which describe laboratory and numerical investigations or report on full scale projects.
Construction and Building Materials also publishes detailed case studies and review articles, as well as short communications
and discussions.
The
materials and
technology covered include: cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars,
additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibres, recycled materials and by-products, sealants, adhesives.
The scope of
Construction and Building Materials includes, but is not restricted to, new works and repair and maintenance
of the following:
bridges,
high-rise buildings,
dams,
civil engineering structures,
silos,
highway
pavements,
tunnels,
water containment structures,
sewers,
roofing,
housing,
coastal defences.
At a time when the pressure is on all engineers, architects and contractors to optimise use of new materials and up-to-date technologies,
Construction and Building Materials provides essential information that will help improve efficiency, productivity and competitiveness
in world markets. It is therefore vital reading for all professionals and academics involved with research into, or specification of,
building materials.
Author duties: Acceptance of a manuscript for publication in the journal carries with it an understanding that
the author, when requested, will fulfil an obligation to contribute their expertise to the review of others' manuscripts. Authors who
are unwilling to assist with the review of a colleague's paper may in extreme cases find that their manuscripts are no longer welcomed
for publication in
Construction and Building Materials.
