Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Physical infrastructures, such as bridges, tunnels, and retaining walls, are prone to damage from disaster hazards, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, impacts, and blast loadings. The failure of such infrastructures could lead to direct and indirect costs for the economy and society. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide innovative and intelligent solutions for structural sustainability. An important theme under investigation is that of improving the structure’s resistance during disasters via innovative materials, such as shape memory alloys (SMAs) and high-performance cementitious composites. Additionally, engaging intelligent solutions, such as smart health monitoring systems based on machine learning and computer vision, are also a promising approach for the maintenance of bridges and other infrastructures.
This Special Issue is gathering articles that present innovative ideas on various aspects of sustainable structures and aims to explore the future of intelligent solutions, especially in the design, construction, and maintenance of bridges and other physical infrastructures.
Within this context, we are pleased to announce this Special Issue with the general theme of “Intelligent Solutions for the Sustainability of Bridges and Structures—Second Edition”. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Reinforced concrete structures;
- Disaster hazards;
- Structural safety;
- Structural dynamics;
- Innovative retrofitting materials;
- Computational dynamic simulation;
- Smart structural health monitoring solutions;
- Machine learning;
- Computer vision.
We invite researchers and experts to submit original research and review articles that describe the state of the art and further stimulate innovations in the relevant fields.

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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
