Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The durability of reinforced concrete structures is a pivotal aspect of civil engineering, affecting the longevity, safety, and overall performance of our built environment. As structures age, they are subjected to various environmental factors and loads that can compromise their integrity. Hence, a comprehensive understanding of the durability of reinforced concrete structures becomes imperative.
This Special Issue, titled "Research on the Durability of Reinforced Concrete Structures," aims to unite innovative research that explores the various factors influencing the durability of reinforced concrete structures. We invite submissions that cover a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Methodologies for durability assessment;
- Corrosion mechanisms in reinforced concrete;
- Impacts of environmental exposure on concrete durability;
- Innovations in materials and techniques to enhance durability;
- Case studies and field investigations elucidating durability challenges;
- Modeling and simulation approaches for evaluating durability performance;
- Sustainable and green solutions for enhancing concrete durability;
- Durability enhancement through advanced construction practices;
- The integration of digital technologies for monitoring and predicting concrete durability;
- Novel repair and maintenance strategies for enhancing concrete longevity.

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. Buildings 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 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.
