Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cementitious materials, such as concrete and paste, are widely used in distinctive civil applications. However, there are few studies linking their competitive and cooperative properties, especially when residue contents are utilized. Distinct and innovative methods and contents are needed to replace portions of cementitious materials or concrete. It is well known that these inclusion particles and contents have important roles in terms of both mechanical and environmentally friendly aspects. It is also recognized that the tradeoff between fresh state and hardened properties constitutes a great challenge for adequate application. This Special Issue invites a wide set of manuscripts and investigations. This can include the characterization of distinctive and modified cementitious materials (including pastes and concretes) and their resulting mechanical behavior and ESG (environmental, social and governance) aspects. Thus, researchers are invited to submit original investigations involving a wide range of materials, covering traditional concretes, pastes, and various distinctive cementitious composites.

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.
