The regulation will introduce sustainable development for the construction industry as a seventh principal requirement, the first six being mechanical resistance, fire safety, health, safety, noise protection and energy economy: a civil structure should be designed, erected (and also used), and dismantled in line with the requirements of sustainable development [4].
Applications showing synergies and opportunities for sustainability Photocatalytic activity of TiO2 in polymer modified mortar The use of titanium dioxide (TiO2) as a photocatalyst in or on top of building materials is a rapidly developing technology in environmental engineering with good prospects to cope with the increasing air pollution.

Introduction Epoxy-based composite materials have been applied in the field of Civil Engineering for structural strengthening and refurbishment since the Eighties [1], when their potential was firstly investigated in the case of reinforced concrete members [2], then also for masonry structures [3,4].

Due to its properties of fire resistance, low thermal conductivity, and good abrasion resistance, MOC found an application in civil engineering as a fireproofing material, thermal insulation material, floor material.
