Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Destructive earthquakes and disasters reveal the ability of human socioeconomic systems to handle infrastructural damage, demonstrating why the concerns of site effects and disaster assessments in seismic-activity-prone regions should be considered. This Special Issue aims to highlight geological impacts and improve disaster assessment by integrating scientific knowledge, engineering expertise, and socio-economic considerations. It encompasses modeling techniques and analyzes various aspects, i.e., seismic hazard assessment, landslide and liquefaction triggered by seismic motion, structural damage identification, site response analysis, the simulation of ground rupture, subsurface characterization, disaster risks, loss estimation, sensitivity analysis, probability assessment, and frequency content analysis. The aim of this Special Issue is to employ pioneer practical and modern computational approaches on the topics mentioned above via artificial intelligence, numerical techniques, agent-based modeling, data fusion (satellite-based data), and sensor networks, etc., for the improved prediction and mitigation of earthquake-related hazards.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
