Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increasing frequency of earthquakes, such as those in Turkey and Morocco in 2023, the need for resilient building structures has become critical. These events underscore the importance of using sustainable construction materials to enhance seismic resilience. By using sustainable, high-performance materials, including recycled aggregates, we can improve structural durability, reduce costs, and effectively manage construction waste.
This call for papers invites contributions on innovative materials, technologies, and techniques for seismic retrofitting. We seek to showcase research and case studies focusing on the application of green materials and recycled aggregates, novel reinforcement methods, seismic performance evaluations after reinforcement, and advanced design theories. The goal is to advance the field of sustainable construction materials by sharing insights and developments that can lead to safer, more resilient buildings.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Jiyang Wang

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.
