Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structural control and monitoring are of great importance to maintain the safety of structures. Although the present methodologies and techniques are capable of resolving some problems, the emergence of nondestructive tests, machine learning in structural control and monitoring, image-based system evaluation, and structural assessments using multiple types of information demand the development of numerical simulation and the experimental demonstration of new methodologies and techniques.
The objective of this Special Issue is to present original research and review articles on the latest theoretical developments and experimental techniques in structural control and monitoring. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following topics:
- Structural health monitoring;
- Structural control-related techniques;
- Nondestructive testing and evaluation;
- Machine learning in structural control and monitoring;
- Image-based system evaluation/identification;
- Analytical and numerical simulation modeling of structures with damages;
- Equipment evaluation using vibration information;
- Advanced signal processing procedures for damage assessment;
- Condition monitoring systems;
- The optimal placement of sensors.

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. 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.
