CEMENT & CONCRETE COMPOSITES

This journal is designed to reflect current developments and advances being made in the general field of cement-concrete composites technology and in the production, use, and performance of cement-based construction materials. The word cement is interpreted in a wide sense, including not only Portland cement but also blended cements and other binding materials. In addition to novel aspects of conventional concrete materials, the journal covers a wide range of composite materials such as fiber-reinforced cement composites, polymer cement composites, polymer impregnated composites, ferrocement, and cement composites containing special aggregate inclusions or waste materials. Original papers dealing with microstructure (as it relates to engineering properties), material properties, testing and test methods, fracture mechanics, durability aspects, composite mechanics/technology, modelling, design, fabrication and practical applications of these materials form the major themes of the journal. Provided there is sufficient linkage to properties defined at the material scale, papers concerning the behavior of structural components and systems, in situ performance, and field studies will also be accepted for review, as well as those concerning the repair and maintenance, serviceability behavior, and sustainability of structures made with these materials.The journal has within the above context several specific objectives. It wants to foster a better understanding of construction materials, provide a forum for unusual and unconventional materials, encourage the development of low cost energy saving materials and bridge the gap between materials science, engineering performance, environmental effects, in situ behavior, design/service life and construction. It is the intention of the journal to also publish special issues devoted to topics of current or emerging interest. The journal aims to provide a unifying basis for collaboration between materials scientists, engineers, designers and fabricators.

本杂志旨在反映水泥混凝土复合材料技术的一般领域以及水泥基建筑材料的生产、使用和性能方面的最新发展和进展。“水泥”一词的解释范围很广，不仅包括波特兰水泥，还包括混合水泥和其他粘结材料。除了传统混凝土材料的新方面外，该期刊还涵盖了各种复合材料，如纤维增强水泥复合材料、聚合物水泥复合材料、聚合物浸渍复合材料、钢丝网水泥以及含有特殊骨料杂质或废料的水泥复合材料。关于微观结构（与工程特性有关）、材料特性、试验和试验方法、断裂力学、耐久性、复合力学/技术、建模、设计、制造和这些材料的实际应用的原始论文构成了本杂志的主要主题。如果与材料规模上定义的性能有足够的联系，则还将接受有关结构部件和系统性能、现场性能和现场研究的论文，以及关于维修和维护、可用性行为和用T制造的结构的可持续性的论文。材料。期刊在上述背景下有几个具体目标。希望能更好地理解建筑材料，为非常规材料提供一个论坛，鼓励开发低成本节能材料，弥合材料科学、工程性能、环境影响、原位行为、设计/使用寿命和施工之间的差距。期刊还打算出版专刊，专攻当前或正在兴起的热门话题。该杂志旨在为材料科学家、工程师、设计师和制造商之间的合作提供统一的基础。
