The publication of this volume overviewing new trends in construction materials aptly coincides with the birth of the new Construction Institute of ASCE, which integrates the Materials Engineering and Construction Divisions. The contribution of Lopez-Anido (civil and environmental engineering, U. of Maine) is on fiber-reinforced composites in civil infrastructure, while the other seven chapters discuss innovative materials and uses such as polymer concrete made with recycled plastics and emerging uses for window glass.
