Recent Advances in Structural Health Monitoring of Buildings and Infrastructures

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

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the rapid development of sensing technologies and data analysis methods in recent years, the structural health monitoring (SHM) of buildings and infrastructures has become exceedingly popular in the last decade.

In this regard, this Special Issue “Recent advances in structural health monitoring of buildings and infrastructures” aims to present novel technologies and methodologies used to study buildings and infrastructures via SHM, such as sensing techniques, data processing, the machine learning of high-rise buildings, bridges, tunnels, and dams, etc. Both new methodologies and technological advancements are welcome, as well as specific laboratory or in situ experimental studies or validations.

This Special Issue provides an integrated view of the problems associated with the health monitoring of buildings under construction and the structural damage identification of in-service buildings and infrastructures.

Prof. Minshui Huang warmly invites authors to submit their papers for potential inclusion in this Special Issue on structural health monitoring of buildings and infrastructures under construction and in operation.

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.
