Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, we have been confronted with challenges in building construction technologies which are quite different from standard practices. These are mainly related to the possible reconstruction or revitalization of old buildings in industrial zones with the use of a high percentage of recycled materials, as well as an evaluation of old structures and their foundations due to certain limitations. This means that testing and surveying are more complicated in areas of existing buildings and that engineers must improve upon standard construction practices on the green yards. Therefore, advanced technologies and new construction materials have been introduced in order to solve this issue. The first section of research outputs collected in this Special Issue will focus on works related to piling, injection, and special foundation technologies where the design, realization, and testing of geotechnical structures should be combined into one procedure. The second one will focus on new materials and structures for pavement design and the design of resilient and parking zones, antivibration layers, and subbase layers using innovative materials such as reinforced foamed concrete. Some related research papers have been published in the previous edition of this Special Issue, which can be accessed using the following link: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/buildings/special_issues/84ERP765NX
The proposed Special Issue will gather contributions from authors with similar research interests, which are fully compatible with the European Green Deal strategy, where renovation and reconstruction can make buildings more energy-efficient and adaptable to climate changes.

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.
