Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on “Recycled Materials and Byproducts in Concrete” will address progress in the study of recycled materials and byproducts for application in concrete. The construction field today still has environmental impacts related to the high consumption of natural resources and the production of waste.
The use of industrial byproducts and recycled materials in the construction sector can reduce the environmental impact. Technology using recycled materials and industrial byproducts as concrete materials has seen increased development in recent years. This Special Issue aims to advance research on concrete properties using recycled materials and industrial byproducts, taking into account factors such as new recycled materials and industrial byproducts, properties of recycled materials and industrial byproducts, factory processing, and various processes. It also includes the environmental impact characteristics and evaluation of concrete to which recycled materials and industrial byproducts are applied.
The main theme included in this Special Issue is the following:
- Byproduct materials for concrete;
- Recycled materials for concrete;
- Recycled aggregate for concrete;
- Recycling processes for recycled materials;
- Fiber-reinforced concrete using recycled materials;
- Supplementary cementitious material;
- Waste materials for concrete;
- Physical and mechanical behavior;
- Durability and long-term performances;
- Ecoefficient materials for concrete;
- Environmental impact for concrete;
- Lifecycle assessment (LCA);
- Lifecycle cost analysis (LCCA).

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.
