Sustainable Construction Materials and Technologies Conferences (SCMT 6)

Papers are invited on all the different materials that are used in construction including aggregates, bitumen, cementitious materials (fly ash, wood ash, slag, silica fume, natural pozzolans, and other similar materials), concrete, glass, gypsum, lime, masonry, metals, plastics, rock, timber, and other materials of construction. Papers on paints, adhesives, preservatives, and preservation processes are also welcome.

use. Energy management during construction. Energy management during use of the buildings and infrastructures. Greenhouse gas reduction. Life cycle analysis. Making construction materials durable. Maintaining quality and durability while achieving sustainability. Maintenance and repair technologies for sustainability of buildings and infrastructure. Mass balance - sources and final destinations of materials. New materials production and construction technologies using innovative materials. Recycling of municipal solid waste (MSW). Combustion ashes. Sustainability, quality, and public perception. Use of recyclable by-products in construction materials. Innovative and non-traditional materials.
