Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Underground structures (e.g. tunnels, powerhouses, pipes) play an important role in fields of transportation and energy. Moreover, the number and scale of underground structures are constantly increasing. During the past few major earthquakes, many underground structures have been severely damaged. Therefore, it is crucial to better understand the seismic behavior of underground structures and to propose targeted controls.
In recent decades, a large number of studies have been conducted on seismic hazard analyses, monitoring techniques, and disaster controls. The main objective of this Special issue is to present current research on seismic analysis and design of underground structures. Origin contributions in numerical and experimental investigations, monitoring techniques, innovative support materials, and case studies are 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.
