Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is a pleasure to announce the 2nd edition of this Special Issue, entitled “Research on Structural Analysis and Design of Civil Structures”. Research into structural analysis and design is an ongoing and critical process that helps experts in the field understand how structures behave and how to improve their performance. This Special Issue aims to gather and discuss the latest research in relation to structural analysis and the design of civil structures in order to comprehensively cover this field and provide a well-documented reference for readers. Suitable article themes for submission include, though not exhaustively, theoretical analysis, performance evaluation, finite element analysis, structural optimization, and the conceptual design of civil structures.
