Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The extensive use of cement in building construction activities consumes a large amount of natural resources, and the resulting high carbon footprint has always been a concern. Due to continuous advancements in construction technology, the requirements for construction materials have gradually increased, and concrete materials need to meet not only basic mechanical properties but also higher requirements in terms of durability and time-varying properties. Considering the higher mechanical properties required for concrete materials and the importance of future sustainability in the construction industry, in this Special Issue, we aim to gather innovative research on new green and low-carbon concrete and provide guidance for sustainable development in society.
The topics covered in this Special Issue include (but are not limited to) the following：
- new green building materials;
- the carbon footprints of materials;
- the mechanical properties of concrete materials;
- the exploration of microscopic mechanisms;
- engineering applications for green building materials;
- the failure characteristics of building 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.
