Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue, we welcome submissions of original research, case studies, reviews, and state-of-the-art discussions that focus on the corrosion resistance of reinforced concrete.
Studying corrosion resistance is crucial in civil engineering and materials science. Corrosion can significantly damage reinforced concrete structures and cause durability issues, leading to expensive repairs and maintenance. This Special Issue aims to extend the durability of reinforced concrete structures, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure the safety and continuity of infrastructure. However, accomplishing this goal frequently requires an interdisciplinary approach incorporating materials science, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, chemistry, and environmental science. Moreover, the ongoing advancements in materials and technologies are persistently driving progress in the field of corrosion prevention in reinforced concrete. Indeed, this continually evolving area demands accuracy and extensive research to achieve ecologically and scientifically sound outcomes.
Some potential key aspects and topics that researchers typically explore in this field include, but are not limited to:
- Corrosion Mechanisms;
- Concrete Mix Design;
- Corrosion Protection Methods: corrosion-inhibiting admixtures, protective coatings, cathodic protection, alternate steel rebar, surface treatments/coating, sustainable and eco-friendly materials;
- Corrosion Monitoring Techniques;
- Environmental Factors;
- Microstructure Analysis;
- Modeling, Simulation and Life Cycle Assessment;
- Case Studies and Durability Assessment;
- Repair and Rehabilitation.

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 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 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
