Concrete Structures with Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious and Composite Materials

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that submissions for a new Special Issue of Materials with the title of “Concrete Structures with Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious and Composite Materials” are now open. This Special Issue is focused on new technologies about methodologies, applications, innovations, and manufactures of high-tech concrete composites by applying recent products of metal or synthetic fibers for future building and infrastructures by way of fiber-reinforced composites, fiber cementitious composites, and precast or modular unit fiber concrete composites.

Topics included in this Special Issue, with an emphasis on fibers as the main innovative material, are the results of developments of high-performance concrete composite materials, crack and damage controls of concrete, structural and seismic retrofits of concrete structures, minimizing of reinforcing steel bars, corrosion resistance of concrete, nonlinear modeling and analysis of fiber concrete composite structures, applications and methodologies of precast or modular unit building structural and nonstructural elements, as well as manufacture using 3D printing technologies and applications as smart materials for fiber concrete composites.

Research and academic areas of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to building and architectural engineering, civil and environmental construction engineering, material engineering, mechanical and aerospace engineering, as well as smart machines, sensor engineering, information technology, etc.

If you need any further information about this Special Issue, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Prof. Chang-Geun Cho
Guest Editor

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-anonymized 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.
