Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of civil engineering, the requirements for concrete performance are also increasing. In order to meet the usage requirements, researchers have continuously developed new concrete materials with higher strength and better durability. The rational use of new concrete materials can greatly improve the quality of civil engineering projects. New concrete materials play a very important role in reducing costs, increasing service life, and promoting environmental protection. Through microscopic analysis (e.g., scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and so on), it is possible to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of new concrete materials.
Several relevant studies have already been published in the first volume of this Special Issue. You can find them at the following link: [https://www.mdpi.com/journal/buildings/special_issues/3I866IYAH7].
This Special Issue aims to encourage scientists and researchers to publish their experimental and theoretical findings or solutions on new concrete materials. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Recycled concrete;
- Modified concrete;
- Ultra-high-performance concrete;
- Mechanical properties;
- Durability;
- Low-carbon materials;
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
