Recent Advances and Development in Civil Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

This Topical Collection is devoted to academic researchers who want to propose studies in the principal fields of Civil Engineering.

Innovative contributions and feature papers are very welcome, especially in areas that include, without being limited to, the following topics:

Mathematical models for civil engineering: elasticity, plasticity, viscosity, damage, fractures, wave transmissions in solids and fluids, hydraulics, the dynamics of floating objects, coastal erosion modeling, urban modelling, transportation modeling.

Structural engineering: dynamics; stability; monitoring; control; identification and diagnosis; wind–structure, ground–structure, and fluid–structure interactions; the assessment, reliability, and optimization of structures; the strengthening and retrofitting of existing structures; timber engineering.

Earthquake engineering: soil–structure interactions, tectonics and seismology, seismic vibration control, protection systems, repair and strengthening, tsunamis.

Geotechnical engineering: foundations, retaining structures, soil dynamics, site characterization, slope stability.

Environmental engineering: climate changes, ecosystems, renewable energy, recycling.

Geo-spatial engineering: geodesy, digital photogrammetry, geographic information systems, remote sensing, satellite navigation.

Water resources engineering: hydropower project construction, water resource planning and management, water conservation and pollution, climate change and flood control.

Coastal and harbor engineering: tides and currents, dredging, sediment transport, climate change and sea levels, waterways, extreme weather events and hazards, shore protection and enhancement.

Transport engineering: road and railway engineering, air transportation, bridge and tunnel engineering, traffic control, transportation optimization, safety analysis, road maintenance.

Building physics and sustainable materials: new materials, improved materials, eco-materials.

Municipal or urban engineering: urban planning, supply networks, landscape design, design esthetics, public utilities, underground utilities, architecture maintenance and renewal, environmental assessments.

Engineering and economy: cost-effectiveness analysis, risk analysis, design economics, managing production operations, consumer adoption, policy analysis.

Construction engineering: construction management, performance-based design, construction material handling and selection, surface modification, construction pollution control.

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 collection 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. CivilEng is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
