Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Building infrastructure is essential to modern society, supporting the seamless functioning of everyday life. However, with rapid urbanization and growing demands on infrastructure, there is an urgent need for innovations in building materials and infrastructure design. Our Special Issue, “Innovations in Building Materials and Infrastructure Design”, invites high-quality submissions. We welcome research on a range of topics, from novel, sustainable building materials like recycled polymers and nanocomposites to cutting-edge infrastructure design concepts such as self-sensing and climate-adaptive systems. This is an opportunity to showcase your work and contribute to the future of infrastructure, creating solutions that are more durable, sustainable, and cost-effective. Submit your papers and join us in advancing innovation in this critical field. The topics may cover, but are not limited to, the following:
- Sustainable building materials and innovations;
- Advanced infrastructure design concepts;
- Climate-adaptive and self-sensing systems;
- Durability and cost-effective solutions in infrastructure;
- Smart infrastructure and technology integration.

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.
