Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials have been widely applied to concrete structures due to their high strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance. In addition to aforementioned advantages, FRP materials have been applied to reinforcement for concrete structures in various formats, such as sheet, plate, bar, and prestressed bar. FRP reinforcement is used to strengthen reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures.
In this regard, this Special Issue invites original experimental and theoretical research articles on FRP reinforced concrete to contribute to our understanding of their performance in more detail.
The goal of this Special Issue is to disseminate original research and review studies that address (experimental or theoretical) advances, trends, challenges, and future perspectives regarding the development, characterization, and application of FRP to concrete structures.
The topics proposed for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Strengthening of concrete structures using FRP materials;
- Bonding between FRP and concrete;
- Surface treatment of FRP rebar;
- Near-surface mounted (NSM) strengthening using FRP bars;
- Prestressed CFRP reinforcing system;
- Failure mechanism of FRP strengthened concrete structures;
- Multifunctional application (sensing, heating, curing, etc.);
- Innovative applications for the construction industry.
I hope you will contribute your high-quality research, and I look forward to reading your valuable results.
Dr. Wonseok Chung

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
