Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a follow-up of the first Special Issue, entitled “Structural Analysis of Underground Space Construction” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/buildings/special_issues/UM0HZ314EF) published in Buildings.
We are pleased to invite you to submit a manuscript to our Special Issue of Buildings. As an important part of underground engineering development, supporting structures are of great significance for the safety, function, and esthetics of underground structures, and this Special Issue focuses on providing a platform for the design, monitoring, simulation, and analysis of underground structures. The topics of interest cover the design and analysis of underground engineering structures in the fields of transportation, mining, water conservancy, and hydropower, including theoretical analysis, model and field tests, numerical simulation, etc. High-quality case studies and critical literature reviews are also welcome.

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.
