Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, we have organized three editions of the Special Issue “Testing of Materials and Elements in Civil Engineering”, with more than 130 innovative papers published. The field of materials testing in civil engineering has a large and varied scope from engineering and scientific perspectives. Therefore, we have decided to assemble a fourth edition dedicated to this topic.
This new Special Issue is proposed and organized as a means to present recent developments in the field of materials testing in civil engineering. The development potential of construction has been enormous in recent years. It is expected that, in the future, the materials used in the construction industry will be more durable. Moreover, constructed, repaired, and strengthened buildings will have high levels of energy efficiency, and the construction processes will be better organized. The articles highlighted in this Special Issue will relate to various aspects of testing different materials in civil engineering, from building materials and elements to building structures. The current trend in the development of materials testing in civil engineering is mainly concerned with the detection of flaws and defects in elements and structures using destructive, semi-destructive, and nondestructive testing.
We invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue, mainly focused on novel testing approaches, developing single and hybrid measurement techniques, and advanced signal analysis.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Testing materials and elements in civil engineering;
- Testing structures made of novel materials;
- The condition assessment of civil materials and elements;
- Developing advanced and sustainable construction materials;
- Detecting defects that are invisible on the surface;
- Damage detection and damage imaging;
- Diagnostics of cultural heritage monuments;
- Structural health monitoring systems;
- Modeling and numerical analysis;
- Nondestructive testing methods;
- The use of nondestructive methods for structure diagnostics;
- Advanced signal processing for nondestructive testing;
- The moisture testing of construction materials;
- The repair and strengthening of structures;
- Technology, organization, and work safety in construction;
- Methods of managing construction processes.

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.
