Summer 2009 Issue

Welcome to the summer issue of Focus on Materials! In this issue of Focus on Materials, we ask experts on civil infrastructure, engineering design, and sustainable materials to define what it means to design for sustainability and how materials can make a difference in our 21st century infrastructure, including the roads, bridges, homes and offices we build, and the materials we mine, refine, and reuse. We hope their responses will provide you with some new material for thought.
