Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural disasters can cause damage to engineering structures, and in severe cases, they can lead directly to structural collapse and destruction. Disaster prevention, reduction, and structural performance improvement have always been hot research topics in the field of civil engineering. For this Special Issue, we invite original research articles on disaster prevention and performance improvement of engineering structures, as well as comments and case studies. The submitted materials may include computational mechanics, bridge engineering, disaster prevention and reduction, engineering reinforcement, testing techniques, design methods, etc. Specifically, we are seeking original research articles on one or more of, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Seismic resistance of bridges or other engineering structures;
- Bridge hydrodynamics and local erosion;
- Impact protection of engineering structures;
- Performance improvement of in-service 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.
