Popis: The current production of building materials and construction technologies consuming the huge amounts of energy and natural raw material resources have also significant impact on the environment because of generation of greenhouse gases. Actual strategic role in sustainable construction consists of the rational use of material and energy resources by controlled minimization of the total production of emissions, with the emphasis on selection and use of such materials, design, and technologies, which accept requirements for quality, reliability, and functionality meeting the criteria of environment not only for optimal indoor climate but also more generally in prevention of the environmental pollution. New advanced materials and construction systems development are the challenge to make a major contribution to the transition to more sustainable and post-fossil-carbon future for our planet in changing climate conditions. In this special issue, the papers are addressed to advances and application in cement and concrete material. The utilised industrial by-products as well as nonconventional environmentally friendly synthetic additives incorporating into cement/concrete for hydration process and strength development improvement are analysed in detail in some papers bringing innovative integrated solutions to key building materials. M. Fridrichová et al. concentrate on thermodynamic stability of ettringite prepared by the hydration of ye’elimite with emphasis on a new application of the fluidized bed combustion fly ash into Portland composite cements.
