Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cement and concrete are the backbone of modern infrastructure, yet their performance limitations and environmental impact present ongoing challenges. Traditional cementitious materials often struggle to meet the demands of contemporary engineering projects, particularly in terms of durability, mechanical properties, and sustainability. Over the past decade, significant advancements have been made in developing high-performance cement and concrete, incorporating novel materials and techniques to enhance structural integrity and longevity while reducing the carbon footprint of production. Despite these breakthroughs, widespread adoption of these advanced materials remains hindered by issues such as cost, compatibility with existing construction practices, and the complexity of optimizing their performance. This Special Issue aims to highlight the most recent developments in high-performance cement and concrete, exploring innovative solutions that push the boundaries of material science and engineering. Contributions are welcome to focus on the intersection of performance improvement, environmental impact, and practical applications.

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 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.
