Abstract

This reprint was proposed and organized as a means to present recent developments in the field of material and element testing in civil engineering. For this reason, the articles highlighted in this editorial relate to different aspects of the testing of materials and elements in civil engineering, from building materials to building structures. The current trend in the development of material testing in civil engineering is mainly concerned with the detection of flaws and defects in elements and structures using destructive, semidestructive, and nondestructive testing.
