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.

    Abstract The housing sector today uses elaborate materials such as cement, iron, sand, often prohibitively expensive and whose production generates a strong environmental impact (scarcity of resources, transport, greenhouse gas greenhouse, etc.). In order to meet the challenges of sustainable development, earth construction is experiencing a resurgence of interest these days. Despite its many advantages, raw earth material has drawbacks, in particular its low mechanical resistance and its loss of geometric characteristics in the face of water, which slow down its development. As part of this study, the mechanical characteristics and durability of raw earth were… More >

    Experimental Investigation on Compressive Properties of Fiber Recycled Aggregate Concrete

    Guiwu Lin, Kaige Liu, Yuliang Chen, Yunpeng Ji, Rui Jiang
    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.11, No.11, pp. 3957-3975, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.028290

    Abstract This paper presents an experimental study to explore the compressive properties of fiber recycled aggregate concrete. A total of 75 specimens with the replacement rate of recycled coarse aggregate and fiber type were conducted under a uniaxial compressive test. The failure modes, stress-strain whole curves, peak stress, peak strain, and energy dissipation capacity were systematically observed and revealed. Test results indicate that steel fiber has the best modification effect on energy dissipation capacity and the toughness index of recycled concrete, corresponding to the enhancement of 81.75% and 22.90% on average. The addition of polyvinyl alcohol… More >

    Abstract To understand the effects of filler-asphalt ratio on different properties of lignin and polyester fiber reinforced shape memory polyurethane (SMPU)/styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) composite modified asphalt mortar (PSAM), as well as to reveal the reinforcing and toughening mechanisms of lignin and polyester fibers on PSAM, SMPU, SBS and mineral powder were first utilized to prepare PSAM. Then the conventional, rheological and anticracking properties of lignin fiber reinforced PSAM (LFAM) and polyester fiber reinforced PSAM (PFAM) at different filler-asphalt ratios were characterized. Test results indicate that the shear strength, deformation resistance and viscosity are increased after… More >
