Advances in Ultra-High Performance Concretes and Cementitious Composites

Dear Colleagues,

Ultra-high performance concretes (UHPC) and cementitious composites have emerged as revolutionary materials in the field of construction and engineering. These advanced materials offer exceptional mechanical properties, durability, and sustainability, opening up new frontiers in structural design and construction practices.

This special issue aims to bring together the latest research and developments in the field of ultra-high performance concretes and cementitious composites. We invite contributions from researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to share their insights and findings on various aspects of these materials.

We welcome original research articles, review papers, and case studies that address the following topics:

1. Development and characterization of ultra-high performance concretes;
2. Innovative cementitious composites for enhanced performance;
3. Durability and long-term performance of UHPC and cementitious composites;
4. Sustainable manufacturing and use of these materials;
5. Applications of UHPC and cementitious composites in infrastructure projects;
6. Numerical modeling and simulation of UHPC and cementitious composites;
7. Experimental investigations and testing methods for these materials;
8. New technologies and techniques for the production and processing of UHPC and cementitious composites.

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. Materials 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.
