Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainability has become an integral part of most activities carried out in society today. Because of this, the pavement construction sector (one of the principal sectors in the field of civil engineering and, in turn, a major consumer of fossil fuels and natural resources and a notable producer of greenhouse gases) is currently seeking ways to reuse wastes and to reduce the economic and environmental impacts that its activities cause. This Special Issue is looking for papers that show the latest steps carried out in the pavement engineering sector to achieve more sustainable materials, design and construction procedures (which could lead to an efficient management of natural resources and foment the development of techniques that permit the reuse of wastes and reduce contaminant emissions). Papers selected for this Special Issue will be subject to a rigorous peer review procedure with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments, and applications.

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 papers will be 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. Sustainability 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 1900 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.
