Science and Technology of Building materials for sustainable development

Foreword

Welcome to International Conference on Building Materials – Hanoi 2019 (ICBM 2019)

Building materials play key roles in construction of infrastructures, houses, buildings and all types of other construction works. Manufacturing industry and trade of building materials influence the national as well as the global economy, the environment and the societies.

Currently, Vietnam is one of the countries having the largest production of building materials in the world. In 2018, the production capacities of main building materials are nearly 100 million tons of cement, 706 million m2 ceramic tiles, 16 million sanitary ware products, 260 million m2 glass products, 18 billion fired clay bricks, 8 billion unfired cement-based blocks, 200.000 tons of refractory products, 250 million litres of paints, etc. The cement and ceramic production sectors have the fourth largest outputs in the world.

The development of building materials definitely require the application of science and technologies to minimize using natural minerals, maximize using industrial by-products, save energy, protect environment and create more sustainable building material products.
