Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The structural safety and stability of buildings are paramount concerns in today's rapidly urbanizing world. In recent years, various novel methods, materials, and measurements have been developed in order to enhance the safety and stability of buildings, thus protecting lives and properties. However, more methods, materials, and measurements are required to adapt to diverse structural forms and complex strata.

This Special Issue, entitled “Structural Safety and Stability of Buildings: Novel Methods, Materials, and Measurements—2nd Edition”, aims to collect novel research regarding the structural safety and stability of buildings. We welcome the submission of original research articles or reviews whose scope includes, but is not limited to, the following topics: the performance of buildings and structures, the evaluation of the structural safety and stability of buildings, new theoretical and experimental methods, innovative materials that enhance the performance of buildings, and novel measurements to protect buildings and structures. Moreover, we welcome submissions that present advanced intelligent algorithms or sensing techniques.

Some related research was published in the previous edition of this Special Issue, which can be accessed using the following link:
