Study of Material Technology in Structural Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

In the realm of modern civil engineering, the study of material technology stands as a cornerstone of innovation and progress. The selection, development, and application of construction materials are pivotal not only in ensuring the structural integrity of built infrastructures but also in shaping the sustainable and resilient future of our cities and societies. This Special Issue seeks to serve as a comprehensive collection of research in the dynamic field of material technology in civil engineering, encompassing a diverse array of subjects that highlight the latest advancements, challenges, and transformative potentials of construction materials. This Special Issue aims to not only deepen our understanding of the intricate properties of construction materials, but also inspire the development of innovative solutions that will define the future of our constructed world.

For this Special Issue, "Study of Material Technology in Structural Engineering", we welcome submissions of original research, theoretical and experimental works, case studies, and comprehensive review papers. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Advancements in concrete composition;
• Sustainable construction materials;
• Nanotechnology in construction;
• Smart and self-healing materials;
• Fiber-reinforced composites;
• Durability and corrosion protection;
• Recycling and reuse of construction materials;
• Chemical and mineral admixtures.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
