Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advancements in civil structure-related nondestructive testing (NDT) and diagnostics. It will showcase innovative technologies and applications that facilitate the accurate and efficient monitoring, evaluation, and condition assessment of civil infrastructure systems.
This Special Issue focuses on NDT methods, advanced diagnostics techniques, and their applications in civil structures, with its scope including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Nondestructive testing methods for assessing the condition of concrete, steel, and wooden structures;
- Innovative signal processing techniques for enhancing the reliability and accuracy of NDT data;
- Integration of NDT data with numerical models for structural health monitoring and prognosis;
- Case studies demonstrating the practical application of NDT techniques in civil structures;
- Development of automated and semi-automated NDT systems for efficient data collection and analysis;
- Use of NDT data for decision-making in maintenance, repair, and replacement of civil infrastructure elements;
- Challenges and future trends in NDT for civil structures.

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.
