Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The durability of building composite materials plays a significant role in ensuring the longevity, safety, and sustainability of modern construction. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest research, advancements, and innovative approaches in improving the durability of composite materials used in buildings. Key topics include material characterization, degradation mechanisms, environmental impacts, repair and rehabilitation techniques, testing methodologies, novel material formulations, and predictive modeling. Contributions focusing on experimental studies, numerical modeling, case studies, and sustainable solutions for improving composite material performance are highly encouraged. By bringing together experts in building materials, repair, and renovation, this Special Issue seeks to address the current challenges and drive future developments in durable and resilient construction materials.

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.
