Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Engineers have been continuously striving to improve the efficiency of conventional material, solutions, and the testing methodology used for infrastructure. In recent times, with advances in material science, different composite materials have been introduced in the construction industry. The traditional methods of underlying theories and testing methods cannot be performed. Additionally, in other places, these modern materials may be exposed to extreme natural or non-natural loading circumstances during their service life, which can cause tremendous fatalities and property loss in terms of infrastructure.
The relevant topics include but are not limited to:
- Innovative materials for infrastructures: cement replacement material, strengthening materials (HFRC and FRP, etc);
- Composite materials for geotechnical engineering;
- Engineering cementitious material;
- Modern theory for composite materials;
- Computational mechanics;
- Monitoring of infrastructures through novel techniques;
- Artificial Intelligence for infrastructures;
- Soft computing methods for infrastructures.

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. Infrastructures is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
