Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the continuous development of material technology, concrete materials are rapidly being developed to have a high performance, which leads to significant innovations in concrete structures. All types of high-performance cement-based materials, e.g., engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) and ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), have unique characteristics, and will play an important role in future building and infrastructure construction. Reasonably and effectively using these novel high-performance concrete materials in engineering structures to achieve a high performance from the "material level" to the "structure level" is a key issue that needs to be addressed in the development and application of novel material structures.
This Special Issue aims to present the recent progress and latest findings on the performance evaluation of traditional concrete structures or novel high-performance concrete/cement-based composite structures in terms of seismic resistance, durability, sustainability, resilience, etc. We welcome high-quality original research papers and state-of-the-art reviews dealing with, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Concrete structures;
- High-performance concrete materials and structures;
- Resilient and sustainable structures;
- Seismic performance evaluation;
- Modeling and numerical simulation;
- Structural design and performance;
- Structural strengthening and rehabilitation;
- Sustainable and resilient structures;
- Mechanical properties and durability;
- Lifecycle assessment.

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.
