Description: This volume contains papers collected by the results of the 2nd International Scientific Conference "Construction and Architecture: Theory and Practice for the innovation Development” (CATPID-2019, 1-5 October 2019, Kislovodsk, Russia). The presented conference materials raise important problems in the area of construction and architecture: from ideas, projects and ways for their solving and optimizing to immediate practical implementation. We hope that this collection will be useful and interesting for many specialists and researchers, which activity is related to the construction industry.

Description: The 25th International Conference Concrete Days 2018 was held in Prague, Czech Republic from November 21st – 22nd, 2018. The published papers present recent research results in the area of modern concretes and concrete structures, discuss modeling and design of concrete structures, bridges, and buildings, properties of concretes as well as significant structural projects and realizations.

Description: This special issue of the journal contains articles that reflect the latest research results in the area of E-glass fibers, composite cements and concretes. In our opinion, this special collection will be interesting and useful for specialists whose activity is related to modern construction and architecture.

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: This edition by results of the conference CONSEC16 contain high quality peer-reviewed scientific papers related to the main topics as: hydration and early age concrete properties, new design concepts and methods for long-term performance, performance of concrete under severe environment and loads, robustness with respect to loading hazards and sustainability of concrete structures, new and special concrete for (ultra-) severe conditions, repair and strengthening of under-performing structures and newly developed techniques for research and analyze. This edition will be useful for scientists and engineers from area materials and structures for construction.

Description:

The concept of the 22nd Concrete Days (CD 2015) allowed a rich programme of expert lectures and posters but also enough time for professional discussions, informal business negotiations and friendly meetings.

The Czech Concrete Society CSSI as the organizing body of the conference has done its best to ensure a convenient stay for 22 times. There were more than 310 participants at the conference this time.

The selected papers include recent results of scientific and engineering decisions in area of researching of properties and manufacturing technologies of modern concretes; modelling and design of structure elements from concrete and realization of significant construction projects.
