Research on Seismic Resilience Assessment and Dynamic Response Analysis in Civil Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Seismic hazard is a potential risk to affect the safety and reliability of engineering structures in the life cycle, and seismic hazard studies have been continually developed after major seismic events. In recent years, technology development and innovation promote updates in the seismic damage assessment, seismic response analysis, repair, and strengthening method of seismic performance. In addition, with the application of new civil engineering materials and new structural systems, the earthquake codes and design methods have been rapidly improved to guide the engineering application and deal with engineering problems.

The special issue is dedicated to the recent scientific progress and technological advances in the novel studies on the seismic resilience assessment and dynamic response analysis of different types of structures.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

• Structural dynamic response analysis of different types of structures
• Seismic performance evaluation of existing damaged structures
• Seismic design, appraisal, strengthening and transformation of structures
• Research on seismic reduction and isolation of engineering structures
• Seismic test technology and structural test research
• Research and development of new system of recoverable functional structure
• Engineering structural state detection and health diagnosis
• Earthquake disaster simulation technologies of construction

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Buildings 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 2600 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.
