Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The seismic performance and durability of engineering structures have significant importance for humans, considering the variety of factors that they influence including safety, economy, environment, and society. For engineering structures, their durability refers to the ability to withstand anticipated service conditions including the loading conditions and environmental actions. The loading conditions, especially the cyclic loads, attract the attention of researchers, since the occurrences of highly devastating earthquakes in China, Chile, Japan, and other countries have caused significant damage to engineering structures. Environmental actions consist of chloride ingress, sulfate attack, the freeze–thaw cycle, etc. However, the rational design and assessment for the seismic performance and durability of structures is not fully understood.
Thus, this Special Issue provides a forum for recent studies on the seismic performance and durability of engineering structures. Topics of interest for this Special Issue may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Engineering structures such as bridges, buildings, roads, dams, etc.
- Seismic performance and durability involving the design of new structures, the assessment of existing buildings, etc.
- Contributions dealing with new investigations/insights for innovative designs for the seismic performance and durability of structures, which broaden the understanding of the behavior of engineering structures, are particularly welcome.

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.
