Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reinforced concrete is essential for buildings and construction. However, conventional concepts and approaches to the performance characterization and prediction of reinforced concrete are not always appropriate for the current requirements of durability and toughness in civil engineering. Notwithstanding the enormous efforts of academic researchers and the industry, a general solution for performance characterization under exceptional conditions (e.g., dynamic loads, freeze-thawing) and high-efficiency performance prediction (e.g., big data, uncertainty, and self-adaption) needs to be discussed further. Several relevant studies have already been published in the first volume of this Special Issue. You can find them at the following link: [https://mdpi.longhoe.net/journal/buildings/special_issues/0F862UJ9JK]. This Special Issue aims to collect both original research and review articles regarding innovative methods for the performance characterization and prediction of reinforced concrete materials and structures.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Multiscale analysis;
- Thermal analysis;
- Machine learning methods;
- Data-driven methods;
- Uncertainty quantification;
- Special loading conditions (dynamic loads, freeze-thawing, etc.).

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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.
