Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Asphalt mixtures are widely utilized materials in the construction of roads and highways, etc. In recent years, asphalt pavements have developed with regard to their sustainability and intelligence considering the current economic and environmental challenges. Novel theories, methods, technologies, and materials are abundant in the asphalt pavement industry, including the development of reinforcement materials, functional asphalt pavements, green and sustainable asphalt pavements, intelligent distress detection, and intelligent construction and maintenance. However, enhancements in (or qualified) the mechanical properties of asphalt materials are essential in order to ensure the pavement service life, in addition to the functional and environmental benefits accrued when novel technologies and materials are employed.
This Special Issue, entitled “Mechanical Property Research of Advanced Asphalt-Based Materials”, aims to gather original research papers related to the mechanical properties of asphalt materials. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Asphalt binder property evaluation and/or modelling;
- Asphalt mixture performance evaluation and/or modelling;
- Multi-physical/multi-scale characterization of asphalt-based materials;
- Green and sustainable asphalt-based materials;
- Additive reinforcement asphalt-based materials;
- Durability assessment of intelligent asphalt pavements;
- Intelligent monitoring technology of asphalt pavements;
- Advanced asphalt material for pavement construction and maintenance.

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. 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.
