Toward Sustainable Engineering Structures for Better Safety in Built-Environment

Dear Colleagues,

The concept of safe design in architectural and civil engineering is important for protecting humanity, considering the economic, environmental, and sociality aspects of society and their capacity and opportunity to maintain and improve the quality of life without degrading the quantity and quality. This Special Issue covers various research topics related to safety and sustainability issues in the recent engineering-built environment. The results disseminated in this Special Issue will be helpful in understanding how to make our society a better place by utilizing scientific and engineering methods, which is of interest for potential readers of Applied Sciences. The manuscripts submitted to this Special Issue will be subject to a prompt peer review process for the rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments, and applications.

The scope of this Special Issue, “Toward Sustainable Engineering Structures for Better Safety in Built Environments”, covers all the aspects of architectural and civil engineering, including the behavior of various structural, geotechnical, and environmental components and systems.
