Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structural analysis and design are integral to the construction and maintenance of civil structures, such as buildings and bridges, as they ensure compliance with safety standards and structural soundness. Therefore, research in this field is critical to furthering our understanding of these processes and improving structural stability and safety. One of the areas of research in structural analysis is theoretical analysis. This method uses mathematical models to predict how a structure will behave under different loads and stresses, allowing researchers to test the effectiveness of different structural designs and develop new frameworks for structural integrity, leading to the creation of more stable and efficient structures.
Performance evaluation is another area of research that assesses how well a structure performs under load. This type of research provides data on a structure's current performance and can identify areas of weakness that need improvement. By optimizing the structural design, performance evaluation can help structural engineers develop new ways to improve the stability and resilience of civil structures.
Research on structural analysis and design is an ongoing and critical process that helps experts in the field understand how structures behave and how to improve their performance. This Special Issue aims to gather and discuss the latest research in “Structural Analysis and Design in Civil Structures” to comprehensively cover this field and provide a well-documented reference for readers. Suitable article themes for submission include, though not exhaustively, theoretical analysis, performance evaluation, finite element analysis, structural optimization, and conceptual design of 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. 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.
