Summary
The world civil construction generates large
environmental liabilities that affect the entire modern society. Vary researches
have been carried out aiming at the use of different types of solid waste in
the development of eco-friendly building materials, promoting the circular
economy process. This special edition aims to discuss and present innovative
manuscripts on the theme of sustainable materials, aiming at the reuse of waste
in materials such as mortar, ceramics, concrete, activated alkali, geopolymers
and others, which fill gaps in international scientific literature.
Keywords
