Special Issue Information
Concrete is the world's largest manufactured material and consumes more than 6 billion metric tons of materials annually. The quality and performance of concrete play a vital role in the future challenges and needs of global infrastructure to grow economically and improve the quality of life. Many advancements are taking place in concrete and being published in various international journals. To compile a comprehensive documentation of the recent advances in the field of concrete, the Special Issue “Mechanical and Durability Properties of Cementitious Composites” is dedicated to highlighting advances and innovative research of Cementitious Composites and its applications. It will provide an international forum for the dissemination of innovative and original research and development in the field of concrete technologies. The scope of the Cementitious Composites includes but is not restricted to, cement and concrete materials, properties of mortar and concrete, fresh and hardened concrete, durability issues, nano- and micro-structures, new materials, fiber reinforcement, cementitious composites, hybrid fiber composites, engineered materials, strain-hardened materials, smart materials, sustainability and durability, environmental impact, additives, corrosion technology, waste and recycled materials, non-conventional building materials, including, the applications and monitoring of bridges, high-rise buildings, civil engineering structures, highway pavements, tunnels, dams, water containment structures, etc.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
