Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of civil engineering structures is inseparable with the development of materials. Recently, the use of high-performance materials such as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP), engineered cementitious composite (ECC), ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), high-strength steel (HSS) etc. has gradually increased in civil engineering. The application of high-performance materials in civil engineering benefits long-span and high-rise structures.
To promote the application of high-performance materials in civil engineering, this Special Issue aims to provide the data, models, and tools necessary to assess the failure mechanisms, fatigue damage calculation, stability behavior, and durability of innovative structures made of high-performance materials. Researchers are invited to provide original research and review articles that seek accurate and efficient failure analysis, fatigue damage evaluation, bulking analysis, and long-term behavior prediction related to structures made of high-performance materials.

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.
