Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As is widely recognized, the extensive use of concrete structures around the world is crucial for economic and social development. However, key properties such as durability, mechanical behavior, and long-term serviceability are closely tied to environmental impacts across their life cycle. Furthermore, the durability and efficiency of concrete structures influence how often they require maintenance, retrofitting, or replacement—directly affecting resource use and carbon emissions. Improving structural performance through innovative materials, advanced construction techniques, and better assessment methods is essential to reducing environmental footprints and achieving climate-neutral buildings.
This Special Issue seeks to gather the latest advances in the performance of concrete structures, aiming to provide innovative solutions for enhancing their safety and durability.

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.
