Resilient Building Materials and Structural Systems for Extreme Environments

Dear Colleagues,

Structures exposed to extreme environments, such as harsh temperatures, high winds, seismic activity, saltwater corrosion, and flooding, face significant challenges that threaten their integrity and longevity. As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of such events, developing resilient building materials and structural systems is more critical than ever. Research in this area is essential to ensure the safety, sustainability, and functionality of infrastructure in regions subject to extreme conditions. Resilient materials and innovative structural solutions are crucial not only for mitigating risks but also for minimizing maintenance costs and ensuring long-term performance.

I am pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, titled “Resilient Building Materials and Structural Systems for Extreme Environments”, which aims to explore the latest advancements in designing and constructing buildings and infrastructure that can withstand severe environmental stressors.

This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge research on the development, application, and performance of resilient building materials and structural systems designed for extreme environments. The Special Issue will provide a platform for sharing knowledge on innovative approaches to creating durable, sustainable, and adaptable structures that can endure harsh conditions, ensuring the safety and efficiency of built environments in the face of environmental challenges.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and review papers are welcome on topics including (but not limited to) the following:

• Development and application of corrosion-resistant materials.
• Structural designs for high-wind-speed, flood-prone, and seismic activity-prone areas.
• Innovative materials for cold climates and permafrost regions.
• Advanced systems for disaster-resistant buildings and infrastructure.
• Sustainable and adaptive structural solutions for extreme environments.

This collection will contribute valuable insights for researchers, engineers, and policymakers seeking to improve the resilience of infrastructure in extreme conditions.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
