Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
New materials and technologies for road pavements are acquiring scientific interest because of the recent advancements in the automotive and infrastructure sectors. Indeed, sustainable and resilient pavements are also crucial, considering the current economic and environmental challenges regarding the field of road engineering.
From this perspective, innovative materials, construction methods, practices and technologies can improve road sustainability and performance, the effectiveness of recycling and rehabilitation, and the in-service durability for economic savings while also adopting new smart infrastructure, intelligent road systems and vehicles.
The Special Issue aims to collect and share scientific knowledge about innovative materials and technologies for designing, constructing, and maintaining road pavements.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in 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 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. Construction Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
