Renovation Problems in Constructions and Historic Buildings

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last years, we ran a successful Special Issue on:
“Non-destructive Testing of Materials in Civil Engineering”  with 26 papers published
“Testing of Materials and Elements in Civil Engineering” with over 50 papers published
“Testing of Materials and Elements in Civil Engineering (2nd Edition)”  with over 40 papers published.

Please click the following links for examples of earlier Special Issues:

https://www.mdpi.com/journal/materials/special_issues/testing_civil_engineering_2nd

The field of renovation problems in constructions and historic buildings is very broad and has spawned several fascinating engineering and scientific perspectives.

This new Special Issue is proposed and organized as a means to present recent developments in the field of renovation problems in constructions and historic buildings.

The articles highlighted in this Special Issue should relate to different aspects of the renovation problems in constructions and historic buildings.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue mainly focused on novel different renovation problems in constructions and historic buildings.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• the history and techniques of erecting buildings;
• laser scanning in HDS technology;
• diagnostics and monitoring;
• the application of physicochemical methods in the surveying and conservation of historic buildings, archaeological artefacts, and works of art;
• conservation doctrines and technologies;
• theoretical analyses and experimental investigations;
• repair and reinforcement techniques;
• damp-proofing and water-proofing;
• upgradings.

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).
