Testing of Materials and Elements in Civil Engineering (2nd Edition) Volume II

This new Issue is proposed and organized as a means to present recent developments in the field of materials testing in civil engineering. The articles highlighted in this Issue should relate to different aspects of the testing of different materials in civil engineering, from building materials and elements to building structures. The current trend in the development of materials testing in civil engineering is mainly concerned with the detection of flaws and defects in elements and structures using destructive, semidestructive, and nondestructive testing.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Testing of materials and elements in civil engineering
* Testing of structures made of novel materials;
* Condition assessment of civil materials and elements;
* Detecting defects that are invisible on the surface;
* Damage detection and damage imaging;
* Diagnostics of cultural heritage monuments;
* Structural health monitoring systems;
* Modeling and numerical analyses;
* Nondestructive testing methods;
* Advanced signal processing for nondestructive testing.
