Journal of Building Material Science accepts a diverse array of innovative and original research articles, insightful review articles, detailed case reports, as well as short communications and editorials. Every manuscript submitted to our journal will undergo rigorous peer review evaluation. All published papers are open-accessed. It strives to establish an international platform for sharing innovative and original research findings and advancements in the realm of construction and building materials, as well as their utilization in novel engineering and repair methodologies.
The journal focuses on topics, such as cement, concrete reinforcement, brick and mortar, ceramics, wood, steel, fiberglass, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, polymers, railway materials and asphalt material. Related non-traditional building materials are also covered.

183 (Download)Abstract: Because related data are seldom sufficient, expert judgments are imprecise, and forces and resistances differ, we provide an uncertainty-aware hierarchy that encompasses both random variation and incomplete knowledge. As a result of our work, we expect turning points, i.e., the points where acceptance or rejection will come about, to be bounded by risk very explicitly rather than simply giving a point estimate. The hybrid approach deals with... More

76 (Download)Abstract: Waste-to-material (WtM) strategies are central to circular-economy planning, yet pathway selection is complicated by uncertain feedstock quality, policy variability, market fluctuations, and coupled operational trade-offs. Existing evaluations often treat key drivers independently, limiting their ability to represent feedback effects that shape long-run pathway performance. This study develops a fuzzy cognitive map (FCM) decision framework to... More

81 (Download)Abstract: Two-layer reinforced concrete (RC) slabs are commonly used in staged construction, repair, and strengthening, yet the relationship between local interface displacement and global slab response remains insufficiently understood. This study investigated six slabs measuring 1,200 × 1,600 × 120 mm under monotonic concentrated loading. The series comprised one monolithic reference slab and five two-layer slabs with different layer... More

88 (Download)Abstract: Wear depth is a key indicator of concrete durability under abrasive conditions, but traditional testing methods are labor-intensive, expensive, and slow. This research introduces a materials informatics framework that uses statistical models and machine learning to predict wear depth in fly ash concrete. A database with 439 concrete mixes was assembled from published sources. Input variables included cement, water, fly ash, aggregates,... More

4 (Download)Abstract: The construction industry generates about 36% of global energy consumption and 40% of CO₂ emissions, while material waste exceeding 30%, schedule overruns and cost escalation underscore the relevance of lean construction principles. This study compares Mivan aluminium formwork, Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) core panel systems and fly ash geopolymer block masonry against conventional reinforced cement concrete (RCC)-clay brick masonry for a G+3...
