Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development and application of high-performance asphalt and asphalt mixtures have emerged as crucial components in modern construction, particularly for infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and airports, where long-term durability and environmental sustainability are paramount. High-performance asphalts are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, heavy traffic loads, and other stresses that traditional materials might fail against. They offer superior resistance to rutting, cracking, and ageing, thus extending the lifespan of pavement structures. The utilization of high-performance asphalt mixtures incorporates innovative additives and modifiers that enhance material properties, including rubber, polymers, reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAP), cement, et al. These components contribute to the mixtures' flexibility, strength, and recyclability, further reducing the environmental impacts. In construction, the application of these technologically enhanced asphalts ensures a faster, more efficient paving process, with reduced maintenance requirements and greater cost-effectiveness over time.
Therefore, this Special Issue welcomes the submission of experimental, modelling, and in situ studies related to high-performance asphalt and asphalt mixtures, pavement construction techniques, and field performance. The articles presented in this Special Issue shall clearly identify their novelty and contribution to the field.

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.
