Research on the Seismic Performance of Reinforced Concrete Structures

This special issue belongs to the section "Building Structures".

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The seismic performance of concrete structures has been a hot topic in the field of civil engineering. This Special Issue launched by Buildings aims to publish research results related to the seismic performance analysis of concrete structures, promote international academic exchanges, and contribute to the earthquake resilience of concrete structures. The Special Issue is focused on, but not limited to, the following topics:

Seismic performance of concrete structures or members
Precast concrete structures
Seismic collapse resistance of reinforced concrete structures
Seismic design method
Structural walls
RC frame

Prof. Dr. Weijing Zhang
Guest Editor

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-anonymized peer-review process.
