Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The sustainability and high resilience of infrastructure are becoming increasingly important and, as a key component of infrastructure, asphalt pavements play a crucial role in achieving the goals of long service life and low-carbon recycling. With the wholescale construction of infrastructure and the advancement of construction technologies, many new technologies have emerged in the research and application of asphalt pavement materials and structures. The study of new technologies, such as functional modification, recycling, intelligent detection, numerical simulation, and low-carbon design, plays a crucial role in achieving the sustainable development of asphalt pavements. In this Special Issue, the latest applications of these technologies in asphalt pavements are discussed. The aim is to bring together cutting-edge research and applications, and to share and present innovative materials and technologies that promote the sustainable development of asphalt pavements. The topics cover, but are not limited to:
- The functional modification of asphalt pavement materials;
- Recycling and the utilization of solid waste materials;
- Anti-skid detection and evaluation of asphalt pavements;
- The numerical simulation of asphalt pavements;
- The low-carbon design of asphalt pavement 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. 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.
