Cement & Concrete Composites

Cement and Concrete Composites is a leading international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the advancement of cement-based materials, concrete technology, and composite systems. The journal’s scope encompasses the full spectrum of research on the properties, performance, and durability of cementitious composites, including fiber-reinforced concrete, high-performance concrete, self-compacting concrete, and sustainable alternatives incorporating supplementary cementitious materials, recycled aggregates, or novel binders. It also covers topics such as microstructure characterization, mechanical behavior, long-term durability, and the development of smart or multifunctional concrete systems. The journal publishes original research articles, comprehensive review papers, and occasional state-of-the-art reports, all of which undergo rigorous peer review to ensure high scientific quality. Its primary audience includes academic researchers, materials scientists, civil and structural engineers, and industry professionals involved in concrete design, construction, and quality assurance. Published by Elsevier, the journal offers both subscription and open access options, with many articles available under a Creative Commons license to maximize global dissemination. With a 2026 Impact Factor of 14.400 and a JCR Quartile ranking of Q1, Cement and Concrete Composites consistently ranks among the most prestigious and influential journals in the fields of construction and building materials, civil engineering, and materials science. Its exceptional impact factor and top-tier quartile status underscore its critical role in shaping innovation and best practices within the concrete and composites research community.
