Sustainable and green construction materials are mandatory choices from a modern engineering design perspective. To meet the challenge of climate and environment, the design of new constructions or repair\/retrofit interventions in existing ones should satisfy several requirements, such as static and seismic safety aspects and energy and environmental performances. Especially in the case of existing structures, issues like the degradation of materials, change of use over time, and current stringent requirements may lead to a need to improve their performances. Thus, an integrated approach is necessary to define design solutions based on innovative processes, materials, and construction techniques. In light of these considerations, the Special Issue deals with studies and research focusing on methodologies for the design of sustainable and high-performance new constructions, as well as the repair and retrofit of existing structures, such as buildings and bridges, with innovative materials or with innovative seismic devices. The refinements in the analysis, design procedure, and numerical modeling of interventions are also of particular interest. Furthermore, studies related to design solutions in the construction market aimed at the reduction of future losses are strongly encouraged.
\nThis Special Issue is covering the following important topics:\u00a0Sustainability and green materials for new or existing structures;\u00a0Design solutions for structural and energy retrofitting of existing buildings;\u00a0Innovative repair\/retrofit techniques;\u00a0Advanced materials for constructions;\u00a0Life cycle of constructions;\u00a0Integrated approaches for repair\/retrofit interventions in the context of sustainability;\u00a0Mitigation of seismic risk.
\nKeywords: Sustainability; Integrated design process;\u00a0Repair\/retrofit;\u00a0High-performance solutions;\u00a0Advanced materials and techniques;\u00a0Mitigation of seismic risk;\u00a0Static safety;\u00a0Energy efficiency;\u00a0Reduction of losses.<\/p>\n
