Sustainable composite construction materials play a crucial role in creating more environmental friendly and energy-efficient buildings. Sustainable construction is a growing imperative in the face of global environmental challenges. As the construction industry seeks to reduce its carbon footprint, a pivotal focus has emerged in the development and utilization of sustainable composite construction materials. Traditionally, we neglected the impact of embodied and operational carbon generated during the manufacture of building materials and the operational stage of building, leading to significant carbon emissions over the last several decades, causing global warming and other related problems. The articles featured in this Special Issue of the Journal of Composites Science aim to provide engineers and scientists with a comprehensive understanding of the current challenges in sustainable construction. This Special Issue contains ten articles, including a review article and nine original research papers contributed by renowned scholars specializing in civil and construction engineering, civil and architectural engineering, structural engineering, and physical sciences; these are all appropriately cited. The topics covered in this Special Issue include principles related to lightweight bricks, eco-sustainable cement mixes, high-volume fly ash-based concrete slabs reinforced with GFRP bars and steel bars, the mechanism of steel-fiber-reinforced concrete beams and slabs, sugarcane–bagasse ash, engineered cementitious composites, bricks created using recycled plastics and bitumen, smart mortar layers, and transfer learning techniques for crack detection. These papers strike a harmonious balance between academic and industrial research, showcasing a
collaborative synergy between the two sectors. The following parts of this editorial provide a summary of these ten publications.
