Advances in Green, Low-Carbon, High-Performance, and Intelligent Building Materials and Structures
This special issue belongs to the section “Building Structures“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the advancement of science and technology, human society has increasingly high building material and structural performance requirements. Furthermore, with the current background of global climate change, sustainable development, and global intelligence, building materials and structures must progress towards green, low-carbon, high-performance and intelligent alternatives.
This Special Issue aims to promote the exchange of academic research, industrial applications, and policymaking, share research results, explore future development directions, and jointly contribute to the realization of green, low-carbon, high-performance, and intelligent engineering construction. Review and research papers on areas including but not limited to the following are welcome:
- Research and application of green and low-carbon building materials;
- Conversion and utilization of building materials from urban solid waste;
- The design of buildings based on green and low-carbon concepts;
- Green, low-carbon, and high-performance steel and lightweight structures;
- Nano-modified high-performance concrete materials and structures;
- Green and low-carbon design of high-performance building structures;
- Research and application of intelligent construction materials;
- Building structure design based on artificial intelligence;
- Application of intelligent and automated technologies in engineering construction and structural health monitoring.

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-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.
