Description:
Original papers are invited for a special issue of the ACI Materials Journal on original research and case studies regarding the effect of nonmetallic building material on the sustainability of concrete structures. Although this special publication is open to all sustainability studies on nonmetallic building materials, it is expected that the main focus will be on greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction and lowering or offsetting carbon footprint. It is the interest of this special publication to investigate how to qualify ideal sustainable nonmetallic materials and still satisfy all the performance and durability requirements. Also expected to include in the special publication are addressing new innovations with high recycling and re-use rates, more efficient design and field applications, and the need for development of Life Cycle Analysis, Environmental Product Declarations, and Product Category Rules.
The nonmetallic materials covered in this special publication may consist of the following...

~FRP reinforcing bars as internal reinforcement for concrete structures,
~FRP composites for external strengthening of concrete structures,
~FRP shapes and forms for use in concrete structures,
~FRP products such as FRP shear connectors, FRP anchors, FRP couplers, etc.
~Polymer concrete,
~Concrete with synthetic fibers,
~Other nonmetallic building materials used in concrete construction.

The following are required for submission
1. Paper title.
2. Primary (submitting) author name, title, affiliation and contact information.
3. List of co-author names, titles, affiliation and contact information.
4. Abstract of up to 300 words.

Instructions:
1. Submit abstracts to the following names via e-mail by latest December 19, 2025 to Mahmut.Ekenel@concrete.org and Jerzy.Zemajtis@nonmetallic.org.
2. Notification of acceptance to submit full paper: February 2, 2026.
