December 2006 Materials and Structures - CIB

Earlier this year the CIB Marketing and Communication
Committee (MCC) lead by Dr. Peter Newton, CSIRO,
Highett, Australia granted the status of CIB
Encouraged Journal to Materials and Structures.
Aims and Scope
Materials and Structures, the flag-ship publication of
RILEM, provides a unique international and
interdisciplinary forum for new and unpublished
research on the performance of construction materials.
Among the leaders in its field, the Journal is dedicated
to the publication of high-quality papers on the
fundamental properties of building materials, their
characterization and processing techniques, modelling,
standardization of test methods, and the application of
research results in building and civil engineering.
Always at the leading edge of research, Materials and
Structures also publishes comprehensive reports
prepared by the technical committees of RILEM.
