Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue addresses recent advances on instability and failure features associated with a broad range of structural components. The focus areas are (but not limited to) steel, concrete, timber, masonry as well as composite structures subjected to a wide variety of loading circumstances (including static loading, earthquake-generated excitation, fire, wind, etc.) within different numerical, experimental and hybrid research frameworks. The scope of this special issue encompasses the common issues around failure and instability analyses, nonlinear response, thin-walled structures, new materials and compositions in construction, timber and masonry composites, fibre-reinforced structures, pressurised and industrial structures, optimisation, sustainability and environmental consideration in structures.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
