Description:

Proceedings of the "19th Conference on the Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of Buildings" are the result of discussion new trends and procedures in the field of rehabilitation and reconstruction of buildings and structures. This collection will be useful and interesting for many engineers and researchers which activity is related to this area of construction.

Description: This volume is a collection of edited papers presented at the 17th International Conference on Fracture and Damage Mechanics (FDM 2018), held on 4-6 September 2018, Seville, Spain. The conference served as a forum to promote and exchange latest theoretical, computational and experimental research works on fracture, damage mechanics, structural integrity, and durability.

Description: The 16th International Conference Silicate Binders 2017 (ICBM 2017) was organized with the support from Brno University of Technology. The most important topics on the conference were the chemistry and technology of cement and other hydraulic and silicate binders, chemistry and technology of lime production and gypsum based binders. Special attention was paid to the use and behaviour of these mentioned binders in the various kinds of building materials, like concrete, inorganic insulations and in solidified sludges.

Description: Structural materials is a hot research branch in the field of material science. In light of the fast-paced development of structural materials, it is of interest to keep an eye on the state-of-the-art research and development and to facilitate collaboration in multidisciplinary research areas. With this end in view was held 2017 2nd International Conference on Frontiers of Composite Materials (2nd ICFCM 2017) in Melbourne, Australia during November 15-17, 2017.

Description: Presented book was collected by results of the 24th International Conference Concrete Days 2017 (Litomyšl, Czech Republic, November 22 – 23, 2017)
The papers introduce recent research results in the area of modern concretes and concrete structures, discuss modelling and design of concrete structures, bridges and buildings, properties of concretes as well as significant structural projects and their realizations.

Description: The current volume of the journal "Nano Hybrids and Composites" offers to readers the collection of the peer-reviewed articles covering practical aspects in the researching of properties and application of the nanocomposite materials in the building materials, in a functional ceramics and as a biosensor in the biomedical practice.

Description: This book is based on the results of the 6th International Conference Non-Traditional Cement and Concrete 2017 (Brno, Czech Republic from June 19 to June 22, 2017) and includes recent results of the scientific research in the area of non traditional cements and concretes, especially alkali activated materials, geopolymers, clinker-free binders, durability, high performance concrete, microstructure study etc. We hope that this collection will be useful for many specialists whose activities are related to building materials.

Description:

The 14th International Conference "Special Concrete and Composites" (October 10-11, 2017, Skalský Dvůr, Czech Republic) was focused on the problems of preparing and use of the special concretes and composites in the practice of the contemporary construction. We hope that published results will be useful for many specialists from the area of building materials and concrete structures. Using of special concretes and composites is often closely connected with severe loading conditions of final elements. Design and development of the mentioned materials must take account of basic properties of all components because they can be special by their binder system, used fillers or by other technological solutions.

Description: The 15th International Conference Binders and Materials (ICBM 2016) was held in December, 08, 2016 in Brno, Czech Republic. This collection was created following by results of conference and presents for readers latest scientific and practical knowledge in area of the civil engineering industry binders and materials. We hope this collection will be interesting and useful for many specialists in the field of civil engineering.

Description: The International Conference on Civil and Building Materials was held first time in October 15-17, 2016, in Hong Kong. This volume consists of the selected papers presented at ICCBM 2016, which are addressing diverse topics related to recent trends in area of building materials. We hope the volume will offer the readers a good opportunity to access the state-of-the art developments and future directions of researches on building materials.
