Recent advances in non-conventional construction materials are of great importance in the structural engineering community. Researchers and practitioners are eager to find novel ideas and applications that can extend the serviceable life of load-bearing members at affordable cost. For example, there has been significant progress in the area of non-metallic reinforcement for concrete structures, which effectively addresses concerns arising from corrosion, and the adoption of durable cementitious composites for bridge decks dramatically lowers the need for maintenance activities. The Special Issue titled ‘Structural Application of Non-Conventional Materials’ deals with essential information on the principles, developments, and implementations of non-conventional materials for ameliorating the longevity of constructed facilities from a structural point of view. To reflect current demands, it is crucial to gather a wide range of technical insights, encompassing laboratory experiments and field applications. Specifically, emphasis is placed on the use of such materials for structural elements and systems. This includes consideration of load-resisting mechanisms, reliability, durability, damage detection, resiliency, failure characterization, performance evaluations, and extreme events such as fire, seismic, and blast loadings. The Special Issue will bring to light latest scientific findings and best practices and will provide an opportunity to discuss identified challenges alongside specific guidance that can solve real-world problems with the ultimate goal of accomplishing resilient and sustainable built-environments.
