Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past two decades, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials have garnered widespread attention for the repair of existing and deteriorated infrastructure. FRP composites can enhance the durability of structures while being lightweight, facilitating the ease of installation. Extensive research has revealed that using fiberglass for shear and flexural infrastructure strengthening presents a continuous solution. The effective utilization of FRP composites in engineering infrastructure has significantly addressed major issues related to the repair and aging of existing infrastructure. This Special Issue aims to solicit research findings on the strengthening, rehabilitation, and application of FRP in civil engineering. Experiments, modeling, and case studies will all be taken into consideration. Submitted research should explicitly state its novelty and contribution to technological advancement.
This Special Issue aims to encourage scholars to explore various feasible approaches to using fiberglass in civil engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- FRP composites for concrete infrastructure;
- FRP–steel–concrete composite structure;
- Maintenance and operation of concrete infrastructure;
- Sustainable development in the construction industry.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Buildings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
