Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, modern concrete structures, such as super high, super long, and super high resistance, have put forward new requirements for concrete materials. The improvement of concrete quality and performance is an important support for structural system innovation and engineering safety and durability. This leads to the development of concrete materials towards high performance and ultra-high performance.
This Special Issue will provide an overview of existing knowledge related to various aspects of high or ultra-high performance cement-based materials.
Original research, theoretical and experimental, case studies, and comprehensive review papers are invited for possible publication in this Special Issue. Relevant topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following subjects:
- Raw materials and mixture design;
- Preparation and mechanical properties;
- Volume stability and durability;
- Microstructure and fiber reinforcement;
- Behaviors of elements and structures;
- New structures;
- Application in existing structures;
- Guidelines and specifications.
Looking forward to your contribution!

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 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.
