Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-performance construction materials are crucial for meeting the growing demands of modern construction, including sustainability, durability, and energy efficiency. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the development of new materials such as advanced composites, smart materials, and eco-friendly materials. These materials offer improved mechanical properties, better resistance to environmental factors, and enhanced functionality. However, challenges still exist in terms of cost, scalability, and integration into existing construction practices. This Special Issue will bring together researchers, engineers, and industry experts to share their insights and findings, providing a comprehensive overview of the current state and future directions of high-performance construction materials. It will cover topics such as material innovation, application case studies, and the potential impact on the construction industry. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, we hope to drive further development and application of these materials to shape a more sustainable and resilient built environment.

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.
