Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the number of studies on fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) and fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) has increased drastically. In the first edition of “Fiber-Reinforced Polymers and Fiber-Reinforced Concrete in Civil Engineering”, over ten high-level papers were collected which detailed bottlenecks in the theory and application of FRPs and FRC and contributed to research in this field. On the basis of the success of the first edition, we decided to release a second edition in order to further explore FTPs and FRC with regard to life-cycle analysis, their performance under extreme disaster conditions (earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, fires, blasts), advanced numerical models and simulations, intellectualization, standardization, and sustainability. Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- New materials/systems/techniques;
- Durability and long-term performance;
- Bond behavior;
- Strengthening of concrete, metallic, timber, and masonry structures;
- Concrete structures reinforced/prestressed with FRPs;
- Hybrid structures;
- All FRP structures;
- Structural health monitoring and intelligent sensing;
- Codes, standards, and guidelines;
- Field applications and case studies;
- High performance, longevity, and sustainability of structures.

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). 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
