Latest Advances of Green Concrete Technology in Civil Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Concrete is one of the most widely used materials in the world; however, it has a significant impact on the environment, such as its large greenhouse gas emissions, its substantial consumption of natural resources, and the potential for a lack of durability. As a result, the concept of green concrete has been developed, with the components of ordinary concrete being fully or partially replaced with recycled materials. The concept of green concrete is not limited to the use of waste materials and also includes the improvement of its lifecycle sustainability.
This Special Issue aims to encourage researchers to publish their experimental or theoretical findings or solutions on low carbon and green materials in construction. Topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Green concrete;
• Recycled materials;
• Waste utilization;
• Recycled powder;
• Recycled aggregates;
• Construction and demolition wastes;
• Lifecycle sustainability;
• Ultra-high-performance concrete;
• Resilient infrastructures.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
