Summary
Recycling industry solid wastes (recycled aggregate, smelting slag, reclaimed asphalt pavement, etc.) in civil engineering materials is an important strategy to save the nonrenewable resources and protect the environment. However, the material characteristics of solid wastes are quite different from natural resources. Some property defects of solid wastes have hindered their utilization in civil engineering materials, such as low strength of recycled aggregate and volume expansion of smelting slag. To promote the utilization of solid wastes, the aim of this special issue is to summarize the materials processing and modification technologies that can strengthen the properties of typical wastes and improve the performance of waste based civil engineering materials. Suggested topics related to this special issue include, but are not limited to:
• Processing and application technologies of smelting slag aggregate
• Modification and application technologies of recycled aggregate
• Processing and production of solid waste based binders
• Permeability and transport performances of solid waste based civil engineering materials
• Utilization of solid wastes in civil engineering materials
