Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of large-scale concrete infrastructures, such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, and tracks, the service performance, repairing, and strengthening strategies are becoming important issues in terms of advanced materials and resilience structures. This Special Issue plans to give an overview of the most recent advances in the field of concrete materials and structures through experimental tests, numerical analyses, and applications in real case studies. This Special Issue is aimed at providing selected contributions on advances in the design, construction, maintenance, and strengthening of concrete structures. We would like to invite all experts in the field of Concrete Materials and Structures to send manuscripts containing scientific findings within the broad field of concrete structures to contribute to this Special Issue.
Topics include, but are not limited to, research results on
- Green and advanced construction materials;
- Novel repairing materials and technology;
- Concrete material behavior;
- Concrete mechanical behavior;
- Advanced experimental techniques for concrete;
- Advanced modeling techniques for concrete;
- Advanced concrete structural system;
- Concrete structural monitoring;
- Concrete structure durability and improvement.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
