Summary
As the rapid development and booming construction of civil engineering, the renewable of the civil engineering materials has gotten lots of attention. Especially in the face of the growing challenge of climate change, the UN secretary General has issued a "red alert", calling on countries to develop new plans to achieve carbon neutrality. The transportation industry is the important energy consumption and carbon emission source. The carbon dioxide emissions in the transportation sector should peak as soon as possible, and the low-carbon development of the industry is imperative. So the reuse and regeneration of civil engineer, the application of solid waste materials in civil engineering, the decrease of energy consumption in processing and application of civil engineering materials are essential.
This Special Issue entitled "Environmentally friendly and renewable civil engineer materials", focuses on the renewable of civil engineering materials and the application of solid waste materials in civil engineering. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
-Renewability and recyclability of civil engineering materials (this would include also asphalt and cement and environment friendly materials);
-Application of solid waste materials in civil engineering;
-Numerical simulation;
-Engineering design.
