A collection of research for a sustainable development of concrete production

04 June 2024
An editorial that appeared in Applied Science brings together interesting research in the field of sustainable development of concrete production and its alternatives, an area hampered by inertia due to well-established, albeit hardly sustainable, practices.
Editorial Team

An editorial published recently in Applied Sciences and titled "Concrete Structures: Latest Advances and Prospects for a Sustainable Future" addresses the pivotal role of structural concrete in global construction

Despite its versatility and minimal reliance on strategic resources, its production, notably cement, contributes to significant CO2 emissions. Embracing the Sustainable Development Goals, the construction sector aims for eco-conscious practices while maintaining structural integrity.

This editorial explores advancements and solutions through technology to enhance sustainability, reporting a series of 14 research papers on the subject. 

However, entrenched traditional practices hinder innovation. Thus, the document acts as a catalyst for research into alternative materials and practices crucial for a sustainable construction future.
