Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cement and concrete composites are widely used in various fields of civil engineering as one of the main building materials. In recent years, cement and concrete composites prepared using different fibers (steel fibers, basalt fibers, PVA fibers, polypropylene fibers, etc.) and industrial byproducts (tailings, recycled aggregates, fly ash, silica ash, gangue, etc.) have been under intense discussion. These materials have a positive impact on the improvement of cement and concrete composites’ physical, mechanical, and durability properties. At the same time, the use of cement and concrete composites prepared by industrial byproducts can effectively reduce environmental load and production costs, which is conducive to the sustainable development of cement and concrete composites.
This Special Issue aims to delve into the physical mechanics and durability of cement and concrete composites prepared using various fibers and industrial byproducts. Research and academic areas of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to material, civil, and environmental engineering.

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 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.
