Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The demand for innovative, eco-friendly, and high-performance construction materials continues to rise in response to global challenges related to the environment and durability. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advancements in low-carbon, durable, and high-performance concrete technologies. It focuses on the development and characterization of sustainable materials, including geopolymer binders, supplementary cementitious materials, nano-enhanced composites, and the reuse of industrial by-products such as fly ash, slag, and waste glass. We welcome the submission of articles that present experimental and numerical investigations, assess applications in the field and long-term durability, perform life cycle assessments (LCAs), and address the integration of machine learning and optimization techniques in material design. We particularly welcome contributions that address durability in aggressive environments, corrosion resistance, and advanced modeling for structural performance. This Special Issue will serve as a platform for the presentation of practical solutions that support the transition to low-carbon and resilient construction systems.
We look forward to receiving your contributions to this Special Issue.
Dr. Taher Anwar Tawfik

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.
