Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of composite building materials in recent years has significantly improved their properties. Breakthroughs in novel technologies, such as building materials from waste materials, artificial intelligence, low-carbon technologies, and resilient structures, provide new opportunities for developing civil engineering disciplines. This Special Issue aims to present the latest findings on developing and testing environmentally friendly materials and solutions to the problems associated with achieving sustainability in civil engineering.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit an original manuscript to this Special Issue focusing on gathering knowledge and experience in the latest advances and trends in the above areas.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- The testing of building materials and elements in civil engineering;
- The testing of structures composed of novel concrete materials (e.g., green concrete, alkali-based concrete, etc.);
- Real-time damage detection and damage imaging;
- Novel algorithms for non-destructive testing (NDT) data analysis;
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning applications for the analysis of data from NDT measurement;
- Health and stability monitoring in civil engineering by the NDT method;
- Other non-destructive acoustic testing methods for composite 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 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.
