Mineral and Metal Materials in Civil Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Civil engineering is an extremely important field, one repeatedly facing the challenges of technological progress but which is itself seeing constant progress. For instance, progress in construction would not have been possible if it had not been accompanied by the intensive development of building materials. This Special Issue of Construction Materials thus aims to promote the development and improvement of new and existing construction materials through the investigation of mechanical and other characteristics. In addition to construction materials, the Special Issue will also deal with the analysis of metal steel materials, since their application is a crucial part of today’s construction industry.

This Special Issue aims to explore various aspects of the application of materials in civil engineering, with special attention paid to extraction, processing, and metallurgy, as well as the testing of mineral materials and metals, in particular steels. This Special Issue will deal with their application, recycling, and disposal, with emphasis on environmental protection.

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. Construction Materials 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 1200 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.
