Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On account of their advantages such as high stiffness, light weight, and proper energy dissipation characteristics, thin-walled structures have been increasingly and extensively used in several branches of engineering as structural members and energy absorbers. Such structures seek to maximize structural efficiency and sustainability by minimizing the material consumed. Their diverse areas of application range from aircrafts, bridges and ships to industrial and residential buildings, as well as including buried structures such as tanks, culverts and many others. Thin-walled structures are considerably prone to loss of stability under the buckling failure mode. The structural behavior and stability response of thin-walled structures have been widely studied under monotonic loading conditions, while the performance assessments under dynamic actions seem to be rather limited and unsystematic. This Special Issue aims to bridge this gap by providing an international forum that can be utilised by researchers to present and share their latest research advances and findings on the design, application, and performance assessment of thin-walled structures within the framework of earthquake engineering. Original and high-quality contributions are 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 monthly 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.
