Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past few decades, extreme events—for example, synoptic and non-synoptic strong winds—have been responsible for a large amount of severe structural damage and economic loss in many parts of the world. The structures become more susceptible to the action of strong winds with an increase in the span or height of those flexible structures, such as long-span bridges and high-rise buildings. Therefore, it requires a refined wind-resistant design to ensure the safety of flexible structures. To improve the wind-resistant design, we need to clarify the effect of strong winds on the structures, including the flow–structure interaction, wind loading, wind-induced vibration, and efficient control strategy. This Special Issue aims to collect submissions on the recent numerical and experimental advances in the wind-resistant design of bridges and building 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.
