Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Asphalt mixtures are the most widely used pavement material, and their performance directly determines the service quality of roads. Currently, the field of road engineering is progressing towards the development of more durable, sustainable, and cost-effective pavement infrastructure, placing higher demands on asphalt mixtures. As a result, the design and optimization of long-lasting asphalt pavement materials, sustainable asphalt mixtures, and recycled solid waste materials have become key focal themes in many countries. Numerous innovative asphalt mixtures have been developed and used in pavement engineering, such as polymer-modified asphalt mixtures, bio-based asphalt mixtures, and some other asphalt-based mixtures. They show many special and favorable properties that could be useful to satisfying the increasingly demanding requirements on the mechanical and durability performance of asphalt pavement under heavy loads and built in severe environments.
This Special Issue, “Advanced in Asphalt Mixture”, welcomes high-quality works focusing on the development, design and application of asphalt mixtures utilized for In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- green and sustainable asphalt mixtures;
- high-performance and durable asphalt mixtures;
- evaluation of advanced asphalt mixtures;
- design theory and methodology of advanced asphalt mixtures;
- advances and emerging technologies in functional pavement materials.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
