Table of Contents

Learning objectives:

1. Identify emerging smart nonmetallic materials for building applications and describe how they can improve performance, resilience, and functionality.

2. Explain the role of nanotechnology in developing nonmetallic materials for construction applications.

3. Describe current and potential uses of 3D printing with nonmetallic construction materials.

4. Learn how nano grouting can penetrate micro-capillaries and sub-micron pores in aging dam structures, significantly reducing water loss and improving long-term impermeability, using a case study.

5. Discuss thermally and acoustically advanced nonmetallic materials for buildings and their potential performance benefits.

6. Recognize future trends in automated, robotic, and intelligent construction using nonmetallic building materials.
