Research on Advanced Materials in Road Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Materials are among the most basic and important elements in road engineering. The quality and performance of materials are directly related to the standard of the entire road engineering industry. With the development of science and technology, new engineering materials are emerging in the field of road engineering. Additionally, the shortcomings of the original material technology of road engineering have been effectively solved, further enhancing the reliability and safety of road engineering.

In recent years, some additional functions have become required of the engineering materials, such as being greener, offering greater environmental protection, intelligence, having less carbon emissions, etc. Based on this, the primary aim of this Special Issue is to collect and spread the recent progress and novel trends in the theory and application of advanced materials in road engineering.

We invite authors to contribute original research, theoretical and experimental work, case studies, and comprehensive review papers that enhance the use of advanced technologies and application of materials in road engineering. Relevant topics to this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following subjects: the design and application of multifunctional material; waste material utilization; low-carbon-emission materials; long-life materials; green environmental protection material; and novel characterization of 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 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.
