Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Construction and infrastructure industries have been using simulation and experiment as efficient tools to evaluate material and structural performances for many years. Laboratory and on-site experiments have been widely performed in the construction industry and in education and research in a variety of materials including concrete, steel, gypsum, timber, and so on. In addition to experiments, simulation is employed in various fields to predict, evaluate, and optimise the material and structural properties.
This Special Issue will focus on sophisticated analysis techniques related to experiment and simulation of concrete structures. The main sub-topics include employing the aforementioned techniques to determine the behavior and damage of plain/reinforced concrete subjected to various types of loading (e.g., static, dynamic), chloride and sulphate attack, carbonation, etc.
As such, this Special Issue will assess a variety of experimental and simulation assessments to investigate the performance of concrete structures. The research published in this issue should propose novel simulation techniques which generate consistent results with experimental observations.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
Prof. Kihak Lee
Guest Editor
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.
