Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wind loading stands as one of the more prominent research areas given the continuous wind–structure interactions. The case of high-rise and long-span structures poses additional challenges given the presence of aerodynamic and aeroelastic effects that could threaten the safety and integrity of constructions and people. The latter could magnify if wind loading combines with separate hazards, which although is not considered a design principle, has occurred with certain periodicity, causing irreversible damage.
The Special Issue intends to address the identified challenges and contribute to improving engineering practice. We propose to strengthen the planning, design, construction, and maintenance chain of deliverables, to better visualize the new generation of wind-resilient structures. To achieve this objective, we invite researchers to submit original work, considering the key areas listed below. We accept technical and non-technical papers provided these align with the established aim, although related research that could contribute to opening new research avenues is welcome.
Submitted studies must clearly identify their novelty and intended contribution.
Papers selected for this Special Issue are subject to a rigorous peer review procedure with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments, and applications.
I sincerely invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue and will look forward to receiving your outstanding research.
Dr. Pedro Martinez-Vazquez

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.
