Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The International Symposium on Frontiers of Road and Airport Engineering (iFRAE) 2021 will be hosted on July 12–14, 2021, by the Section of Pavement Engineering, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. This conference is co-sponsored by the College of Transportation Engineering, Tongji University, China.
The iFRAE was started by College of Transportation Engineering of Tongji University. This symposium was first held in 2011 and then biennially since 2015. The theme of the iFRAE 2021 is to promote research in the field of “Circular, Sustainable and Smart Airport and Highway Pavements” and is dedicated to the state-of-the-art and state-of-practice areas of long-life and circular materials for sustainable, cost-effective smart airport and highway pavement construction. This symposium will facilitate the exchange of new ideas in these fields among academicians, engineers, scientists, and practitioners. It includes plenary, keynote and invited speeches, oral presentations, and poster sessions on different topics.
The aim of this Special Issue of Materials is to provide researchers, practitioners, and administrators a unique and rewarding opportunity to present and forward new and emerging ideas. Furthermore, the symposium will also serve as a platform for scientific exchange, creating scientific communities with complementary activities that work in the broader field of pavement engineering.
Participants at the iFRAE 2021 are highly encouraged to submit papers in this Special Issue for possible publication in Materials. Those not attending iFRAE 2021 are also warmly invited to submit a paper to this Special Issue.

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.
