Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Among the most widely used engineering materials, cement-based materials are currently undergoing in-depth research and development towards high-performance, sustainable, and multifunctional directions. Of late, related research focusing on material composition optimization, microstructural regulation, and macroscopic performance enhancement has become a focal point in the academic community. By introducing novel admixtures, nanomaterials, and reinforcements at different scales, the mechanical properties, volume stability, and durability of cement-based materials can be significantly improved. Concurrently, the integration of cement-based materials with cutting-edge technologies—such as self-healing technologies, functional design for electrical and thermal conductivity, and digitalized manufacturing processes—is opening up new development pathways for this field.
This Special Issue aims to report on the latest advancements in the scientific research and engineering application of cement-based materials, with a particular focus on whole-chain innovation from material design and performance characterization to engineering practice. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, novel cementitious material systems, the multi-scale mechanical behavior of cement-based composites, degradation mechanisms of durability under complex environments, the resource utilization of low-carbon solid wastes, the preparation and properties of functional cement-based materials, and the application of intelligent and digital technologies in the research and development of cement-based 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Buildings 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.
