Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recycling of waste materials not only reuses waste resources, but can also solve the problems of environmental pollution and land occupation caused by their accumulation to a certain extent. The high-end application of waste materials can be achieved by using their recycled products in structural members, and the incorporation of performance-enhancement technology is expected to realize the efficient recycling of waste materials. Thus, it is necessary to study the performance of structural members with recycled materials in depth. Extensive research has been conducted on a continuous basis regarding their performance under short-term static loading, the behaviour under long-term sustained loads, long-term durability, and performance under disaster action. Furthermore, recent studies have begun to focus on the multiple recycling of waste materials and the application of multiple recycled materials in structural members. All these efforts provide a cogent and broad vision for the viable structural recycling of recycled materials.
The aim of this Special Issue of Buildings, “Performance of Structural Members with Recycled Materials”, is to provide a platform for the discussion of recent research achievements in structural members with recycled materials. For this Issue, we warmly welcome the submission of papers on a wide range of topics related to members with recycled materials, including experimental investigation, theoretical (numerical) modelling, design method (calculation) and performance improvement.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
