This special issue belongs to the section "Building Structures".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the Special Issue entitled “Brittle Behaviour of High-Performance Concrete Structures” will be published in Buildings, a MDPI Open Access Journal indexed in Scopus and Web of Science with an Impact Factor of 3.8.
This Special Issue aims to publish papers on recent advances on high-performance concrete structures, with a particular focus on the complex phenomena characterising the failure mechanisms of fibre-reinforced, hybrid-reinforced, FRP-bar reinforced, and prestressed concrete structures.
We will be very pleased if you would consider submitting a research paper or a review article on any topic related to this theme. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
