This Special Issue mainly concerns recent progress in the fields of building materials, structural mechanics, geotechnical engineering, and advanced materials and technology. Some of the studies in this Special Issue collate the latest achievements in cement and building materials research, building upon traditional research theories and techniques.

This Special Issue provides a supportive basis for remediating current research and difficulties and knowledge gaps. This field, with all its traditionalism and multidisciplinarity, has profited from these developments.

However, its specific features have led to a considerable scattering of literary sources and a lack of information that has been mutually agreed upon by all relevant subjects. This Special Issue should help to overcome these problems.

It provides us with an opportunity to create a compendium on novel cement and building materials, which will not only boost further scientific progress but also provide restorers and artists with a useful literary overview. It is focused on cement and building materials, and contains the most important results from different regions of the world.
