Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The carbon dioxide emission from the whole life cycle of cement-based construction materials has greatly contributed to the greenhouse effect, global climate change, and ecological disruption. Although many efforts have been focused on reducing the traditional Portland cement and natural aggregate consumption in recent years, fundamental research is still lacking. Therefore, more in-depth investigations are still required to develop greener cement, produce more sustainable construction materials, and upgrade manufacturing technologies, which are supposed to lay solid foundations for modern and green urbanization.
This Special Issue presents recent advances and achievements in low-carbon construction materials and advanced production technologies for sustainable and modern construction. We welcome high-quality original research papers and state-of-the-art reviews dealing with, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Geopolymer (Alkali-Activated) Concrete and Composites;
- Cement-Based Concrete and Composites with High Greenness;
- Sustainable Artificial Aggregates;
- Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composites;
- 3D Printed Concrete Technologies;
- Advanced Concrete Manufacturing Technologies;
- Concrete Mix Design Based on Artificial Intelligence;
- Carbonation and Carbon Neutrality Technologies;
- Recycling of Industrial/Agricultural/Urban Solid Waste in Concrete Materials;
- Numerical Simulation of Low-Carbon Concrete Performances.
Your contributions are welcome!

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.
