Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ultra-High Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) has offered notable advantages over other types of concrete, offering exceptional strength, durability, and flexibility. By incorporating fibers into a dense cementitious matrix, UHPFRC achieves exceptional resistance to mechanical stress, environmental degradation, and structural fatigue, making it a game-changer for demanding and innovative construction projects. Despite its extraordinary attributes, UHPFRC presents opportunities for further refinement and innovation. Areas such as optimizing fiber distribution, enhancing sustainability through eco-friendly mix designs, and scaling up production for widespread use remain critical focal points for researchers and engineers.
This Special Issue invites contributions addressing the latest advancements and research in UHPFRC. Topics of interest include fresh and hardened material properties, innovative applications, new features, environmental impact reduction, cost assessment, and new insights into fiber-matrix interactions. We invite your submissions to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on UHPFRC, enhancing its potential application in the construction industry.

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. Fibers is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2000 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.
