High-Performance Building Materials and Structures: State-of-the-Art Studies

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, high-performance building materials have been developed and proposed for building structures, e.g., high-strength steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, high- or ultra-high-strength concrete, lightweight concrete, or ultra-high-performance concrete. These innovative high-performance materials have been developed and put into use in buildings, spacing structures (e.g., aluminum rooves), bridges (e.g., stainless steel bridge, aluminum bridge), TV emission towers (e.g., the Tokyo tower with high-strength steel), and offshore structures. This issue aims to incorporate these state-of-the-art research developments and engineering activities of high-performance materials and their applications in structures, bridges, tunnels, and other civil engineering constructions. The scope of this issue includes but is not limited to steel, concrete, and steel–concrete composite structures with high-performance steel, concrete, composite, and alloy 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.
