當能源問題和可持續性問題在國際議程上占據重要地位時，具體的作用至關重要?；炷恋亩喙δ苄院腿蚩捎眯允蛊涑蔀樵S多應用領域的首選，無論是陸上、海上、地上還是地下。它也是獨一無二的，是唯一一種可以在重大工程規模上使用的冷的、可成型的無機塑料。然而，對于進一步開發的混凝土和其他水泥基衍生物，我們需要了解使用或不使用普通硅酸鹽水泥的替代液壓活性材料、使用二次集料的影響、工程特性、可持續性和耐久性問題。需要解決基本和最佳實踐問題。《混凝土研究》雜志涵蓋了混凝土制造和性能的各個方面，從組成材料的性能和評估到配合比設計、測試、耐久性、結構分析和復合結構。提交日記是免費的。論文一準備好發表就在印刷品前面（見下文）。使用doi系統可以完全引用打印前的文章。

At a time when energy concerns and sustainability issues are high on international agendas, the role of concrete is paramount. Concrete's versatility and global availability make it the world's first choice in many applications, both onshore, offshore, above and below ground. It is also unique, being the only cold, mouldable, inorganic plastic that can be used on a significant engineering scale. However, for concrete and other cementitious derivatives to be developed further, we need to understand the use of alternative hydraulically active materials used with or without plain Portland Cement, the impacts of using secondary aggregates, engineering properties, sustainability and durability issues. Both fundamental and best practice issues need to be addressed.Magazine of Concrete Research covers every aspect of concrete manufacture and behaviour from performance and evaluation of constituent materials to mix design, testing, durability, structural analysis and composite construction.To submit to the journal is free.
