Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The formation and control mechanism of the microstructure of civil engineering materials is used to establish a composition–structure–performance relationship in civil engineering materials, while multiscale theoretical modeling and simulation analysis of civil engineering materials is used to realize the regulation and optimization of the composition and structure of civil engineering materials. The mesomechanics and strength theory of civil engineering materials, meanwhile, can help to explore the damage and fracture of civil engineering materials and the mechanism of strengthening and toughening, while the evolution law of the whole life cycle performance of civil engineering materials and their mechanical behavior under extreme conditions helps to develop ultra-high-performance and high-durability civil engineering materials.
In this field, key research areas include:
- Formation, regulation, and control mechanism and method of microstructure of civil engineering materials;
- Composition, structural regulation, optimization theory, and method of civil engineering materials;
- Design and preparation of fiber-reinforced toughening materials;
- Mechanical behavior and performance evolution of civil engineering materials under extreme condition;
- Research, development, and preparation of ultra-high-performance and high-durability civil engineering materials;
- Protection, repair, and strengthening of concrete structures.

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. Materials 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.
