Emerging Concrete Technologies and Applications
This special issue belongs to the section "Civil Engineering".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Concrete, with its millennia-long history, continues to evolve through innovations in related fields, and emerging technologies in concrete production and automated construction methods are crucial for the future development of human society.
Structural monitoring plays a vital role in gathering valuable data to enhance material development and construction technologies, maximizing the potential of this versatile material. Additionally, the implementation of innovative solutions to reduce the risk of failure in concrete structures remains a key challenge.
This Special Issue aims to showcase recent research and review articles that highlight current advancements in concrete technology and applications, driving further progress in the sustainability of concrete structures.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, novel materials, advanced construction methods, and mathematical modeling of concrete structures such as dams, tanks, power plants, chimneys, and cooling towers.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
