Description: This book was prepared by results of the 17th International Conference Silicate Binders (ICBM 2018) that was held December 6 in Brno, Czech Republic and focused on the scientifical and practical knowledge of inorganic binders and materials. The most important topics were chemistry and technology of cement and other hydraulic and silicate binders and chemistry and technology of lime and gypsum based binders. We hope this collection will be useful for many specialists in the field of building materials.

Description: The 31st volume of the journal "Advanced Engineering Forum" contains peer-reviewed manuscripts describing the results of engineering solutions and research dealing with actual problems in the area of strength of materials and structures, building materials, architecture, determination of optimal parameters for the technology of equal channel angular pressing and modeling for the multiple-criteria decision making in manufacturing environment. Published articles will be useful for professionals in the various branches of engineering and for students and academic staff concerned with the related specialties.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Concrete-polymer composites have attracted people’s attention in many industries for their excellent physical and mechanical properties and durability. The peer reviewed paper in this special volume cover the following topics: materials, mix proportion design and properties of concrete-polymer composites; their characterization methods, their application and other special aspects. In these papers the authors are trying to answer what is essential in concrete-polymer composites, how to make it better for the given project and how to eventually achieve sustainable building materials.

Description: These are the proceedings of the International Conference on Civil Engineering and Materials (ICCEM 2012), held on the 7 and 8^th July 2012 in Paris, France. As in the case of the previous conferences, the proceedings are an excellent guide to current thinking on the topic.

Description: This volume presents the proceedings of the International Symposium on Ecological Environment and Technology of Concrete, held on August 1st to 4th, 2011 in Beijing, China.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The main aim of this symposium was to highlight the relationship between concrete technology and the ecological environment; thus covering a wide range of topics such as the preparation of high-strength/high-performance concrete, durability, raw materials, workability, chemical admixtures, new applications, property characterization, environmental impact of concrete production and behavior of concrete structures. In all, 70 papers from China, Norway and the USA were presented at the conference. These proceedings offer a very up-to-date overview of the field.
