Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced technology has made notable strides in diverse domains, including concrete engineering. These advancements have contributed to enhancing the effectiveness, longevity, and eco-friendliness of concrete constructions. This Special Issue centers on implementing cutting-edge theories, techniques, and instruments, encompassing machine learning, sensors, robotics, 5G, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, building information modeling, computational methodologies, and more, throughout every phase of the construction lifecycle. This comprehensive approach imbues the procedure with greater intelligence and efficiency. This Special Issue also encompasses other critical facets of civil engineering, such as planning, design, operation, maintenance, and disaster risk reduction.
Selected areas and topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced experimental technologies;
- Novel modeling and computational methods;
- Application of smart sensors in concrete engineering;
- Application of big data, cloud computing, block chain, etc.;
- Application of machine learning, deep learning, etc.;
- Auto or intelligent equipment for construction process and risk management.

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.
