Feature Articles : Making the best use of limited resources –From the viewpoint of construction materials

Our present life is built on consuming limited resources on the earth. As far as we try to maintain and further develop our present society, it is necessary to consider the scenario that the economically utilizable natural resources would be exhausted in the near future.

Facing the problem of the depletion of high quality natural resources, various efforts have been undertaken in the field of construction materials. This special issue focuses on one of the these efforts, the technology that utilizes alternative materials as construction materials, such as wastes and industrial by-products, or natural resources regarded as not suitable for construction materials so far.

This special issue consists of a keynote article that comprehensively discusses the application of underutilized materials and four articles on case studies. It is our intention that it can make civil engineers, who are involved in consuming a large amount of resources for social infrastructure development, to think about what should be done in order to “make the best use of limited resources”.
