The International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials (IJCSM) provides an international forum about various topics related to concrete or cement based materials and structures. This forum provides an opportunity for international engineers and scientists to contribute their knowledge for the advancement and safety of human society. IJCSM is currently published under the auspice of the Korea Concrete Institute (KCI). In addition, international scholars from over 17 countries have contributed as editorial members for IJCSM, helping the world's top scholars to publish their best research papers.

Featured Article: Experimental Investigation on Flexural Behavior of Reinforced Ultra High Performance Concrete Low-Profile T-Beams
The flexural behavioral properties of ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) low-profile T-beams reinforced with a combination of steel fibers and steel reinforcing bars were investigated in this paper. Five large scale T-beams were tested and analyzed regarding their deflection, ductility, strain, curvature, load capacity and crack development. The experimental variables include the reinforcement ratio, the slenderness (length to diameter ratio) of the fiber reinforcements, and the fiber type.
Article Processing Charge (APC) Paying Options
The following are the APC payment options that authors can take upon the submission to IJCSM. The option has to be selected at the time of a manuscript submission and follow up actions to the selection will be take place if the review decision of the submission is decided as “Accepted for publication”.
Option 1: Author self-paying APC
The authors will pay the full charge of APC of their manuscript (EUR 1590 per paper). Self-paying authors will do so through Editorial Manager.
Option 2: Korean Concrete Institute (KCI) fee coverage request
There is full sponsorship available through KCI for authors without available funding for APCs. To request sponsorship, please contact journal@mail.kci.or.kr. Please note that this not the same as requesting a waiver (see Option 2).
Option 3: SpringerOpen fee waiver request
Authors from low income countries or from SpringerOpen Membership institutions will be able to separately request waivers or discounts in Editorial Manager.

Call for papers: Ultra-High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) with Low Embedded Carbon
Ultra-High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) has been attracted attention from engineers worldwide since the mid-1990s due to its excellent mechanical strengths, durability, fatigue resistance, etc. Based on a particle packing density theory, very compact mix design was developed, having a compressive strength over 150 MPa. By incorporating high volume fractions of steel fibers, ductile strain-hardening behavior in tension could be also achieved with a formation of multiple microcracks. We have indeed witnessed that UHPFRC provides a potential solution to overcome drawbacks of ordinary concrete and leads to innovative construction technology. Recently world faces the dire consequences of climate change. We thus need strategies to reduce the carbon footprint of UHPFRC in terms of sustainability for our future generation. Motivated by these outstanding characteristics, this special issue aims to introduce recent research efforts towards material development of UHPFRC with low embedded carbon and its structural applications.
