Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The International Conference on Mechanical Models in Structural Engineering (CMMoST) is a biennial scientific event dedicated to the advancement and dissemination of mechanical modeling techniques in structural engineering. Its primary objective is to bring together researchers, engineers, and academics to discuss innovative methods for analyzing, simulating, and designing structural systems across multiple materials and scales. The conference provides a forum for presenting both theoretical developments and practical applications, including computational modeling, experimental validation, material characterization, structural health monitoring, and performance-based design.
CMMoST fosters interdisciplinary collaboration between specialists in civil engineering, mechanics, materials science, and applied mathematics. Typical topics include nonlinear analysis, damage and fracture mechanics, concrete and composite structures, soil–structure interaction, numerical methods (FEM, DEM, meshfree approaches), and the use of digital tools such as AI or digital twins in structural assessment.
Through keynote lectures, technical sessions, and poster presentations, CMMoST serves as a platform for exchanging ideas and identifying future trends in structural modeling and design. The conference promotes scientific excellence and international cooperation, contributing to safer, more efficient, and sustainable structures.

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.
