Development in Low-Carbon, High-Performance Concrete Technology

Dear Colleagues,

High-performance concrete is one of the indispensable materials in modern urban construction. It bears the important mission of promoting the urbanization process. Its quality is directly related to the quality of construction projects and is the fundamental guarantee for ensuring the quality of projects. In addition, low carbon and environmental protection have become new requirements for the concrete industry in modern society. Therefore, we need to continuously explore low-carbon high-performance concrete to better achieve sustainability and cost-effectiveness while meeting basic performance requirements. This Special Issue aims to deeply explore the performance change mechanism of building materials, stimulate innovation, promote the development of low-carbon concrete technology and promote the sustainable development of the construction industry. The topics for this Special Issue include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Low-carbon concrete;
• High-performance concrete;
• Sustainable building materials;
• Mineral admixtures;
• Industrial waste and by-products;
• Alternative cementitious materials;
• Solid waste-recycled concrete;
• Carbonation;
• Carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage;
• Life cycle sustainability.

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 monthly 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.
