Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, advanced construction materials have been widely applied to concrete structures due to the flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete. Advanced construction materials have been used for the strengthening of concrete structures in various methods. Various methods have also been used for the flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures (for example, external prestressing method, external bonding fiber-reinforced polymer or steel sheet method, near surface mounted FRP).
In this regard, this Special Issue invites original experimental and theoretical research articles on reinforced concrete beam to contribute to our understanding of their accomplishment in more detail.
The goal of this Special Issue is to disseminate original research and review studies that address (experimental, theoretical) advances, trends, challenges, and future perspectives regarding the development, characterization, and application of strengthening method to concrete structures.
The topics proposed for this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:
- Flexural performance of reinforced concrete beams;
- Strengthening of concrete structures using various methods;
- Effect of strengthening method for reinforced concrete beams;
- Numerical modeling of reinforced concrete beams;
- Failure mechanism of strengthened concrete structures;
- Advanced material application;
- Innovative applications for the construction industry.
I hope you will contribute your high-quality research, and I look forward to reading your valuable results.

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. CivilEng is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
