Study on Concrete Structures—2nd Edition

This special issue belongs to the section “Building Materials, and Repair & Renovation“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the development of large-scale concrete infrastructure, such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, and tracks, issues such as service performance, repairing, and strengthening strategies are becoming important topics with regard to advanced materials and resilient structures. This Special Issue plans to provide an overview of the most recent advances in the field of concrete materials and structures through experimental tests, numerical analyses, and applications in real-life case studies. It aims to include selected contributions on advances in the design, construction, maintenance, and strengthening of concrete structures. We would like to invite all experts in the field of concrete materials and structures to contribute manuscripts containing scientific findings encompassed by this broad area of research.

Topics include, but are not limited to, research results on the following:

  • Green and advanced construction materials;
  • Novel repairing materials and technology;
  • Concrete material behavior;
  • Concrete mechanical behavior;
  • Advanced experimental techniques for concrete;
  • Advanced modeling techniques for concrete;
  • Advanced concrete structural systems;
  • Concrete structural monitoring;
  • Concrete structure durability and improvement.

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.
