Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Investigating building vulnerability and risk is crucial in order to evaluate the impact of natural hazards on exposed assets within a country or region. This assessment can be performed using both numerical methods, as well as information collected via the thorough monitoring of buildings and infrastructures or thorough testing. In addition, within the topic of this Special Issue, the impact of climate change on design codes is another topic which will considerably influence the construction industry in the future.
We welcome papers on the following and related topics, including (but not limited to) the following:
- The evaluation of seismic and wind vulnerability and the risk of buildings;
- The monitoring of buildings and infrastructures;
- Simulation and modelling;
- Structural testing;
- Databases of natural hazards;
- The impact of climate change on design codes;
- The collapse analysis of buildings.

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.
