High-Performance Concrete: Modification Methods, Sustainability, and Multifunctional Applications

Dear Colleagues,

High-performance concrete or ultra-high-performance concrete (HPC/UHPC) have received extensive attention over the past few decades. Compared to traditional concrete materials, HPC/UHPC not only has extremely high mechanical properties, but also has high ductility. Meanwhile, due to the addition of SCMs and additives, it has excellent durability. These characteristics make HPC/UHPC suitable for use in a great variety of application scenarios, such as in 3D printing construction, dry concrete construction, protective reinforcement, etc.

Although there is increasing research on HPC/UHPC, many challenges and research barriers remain unresolved and require that further innovative exploration be conducted. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform to showcase the latest developments in HPC/UHPC at the material and structural scales.

This Issue will publish high-quality original research papers in the following fields. These include, bu are not limited to:

• Latest modification methods and mechanism analysis;
• Low carbon, energy-saving, and sustainable;
• 3D printing performance and structural applications;
• Multiple application scenarios.

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-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).
