Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Concrete as a construction product is evaluated in terms of various parameters, especially compressive strength. In the era of concrete and construction technology development, more and more technological requirements are being placed on the concrete produced. Due to the increase in these requirements, manufactured concretes are already special, and quality control at each stage of their production has become very important. Special attention should be paid to the design stage, the initial evaluation of the test batch of concrete, and the re-evaluation of the concrete mixture. It is important to use plasticizers and super plasticizers because of the water required and the increase in the strength of the concrete not only in compression but also in tension. The carbon footprint emitted by the production of concrete and its reduction by changing the cement and additives is also important.

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.
