Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The topic of “3D Printing Materials in Civil Engineering” explores the innovative technology of utilizing 3D printing techniques to create concrete structures in the field of civil engineering. This advanced method allows for the rapid and efficient construction of complex architectural designs, reducing labor costs and construction time. Material testing plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and durability of 3D-printed concrete structures, as the mechanical properties and performance characteristics of the materials used must be thoroughly assessed. Through a combination of experimental testing and theoretical analysis, researchers aim to optimize the printing process and develop new sustainable materials for use in civil engineering projects. This topic represents a significant advancement in construction technology, offering new possibilities for designing and building structures with improved efficiency and sustainability.

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. 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 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.
