Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Green and low-carbon concrete technology and construction are the main development trends in this field, and they will determine the future usage, maintenance and service lives of buildings. In this Special Issue, current research into materials, building types, operating strategies and cost requirements relevant to green low-carbon durable maintenance-free concrete technology and construction will be the primary focus of attention. However, the niche features of this research field have led to considerable scattering of literary sources and a lack of information exchange between researchers in the relevant subfields. Moreover, the latest research achievements have not been summarized and innovated. This Special Issue aims to overcome these problems, as it provides an opportunity to create a collection of studies of green low-carbon durable maintenance-free concrete technology and construction. We invite authors to submit written contributions to this Special Issue, which can include, but are not limited to, the following subjects:
- green low-carbon cement and building materials;
- low-carbon design and preparation of buildings;
- cementitious capillary crystalline waterproofing materials;
- concrete structures;
- carbon peaking and carbon neutrality;
- durability of concrete structures;
- architecture and the environment.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
