Disaster Mitigation, Risk Reduction, and Resilience Design of Engineering Structures

Dear Colleagues,

Disaster mitigation, risk reduction, and resilience design of engineering structures under natural hazards are topics of great interest and are important for protecting human life and reducing economic losses. In recent decades, with the help of new knowledge around the mechanisms of natural hazards, new methods and facilities for disaster mitigation and risk reduction are being developed. Furthermore, resilience designs have been proposed to improve post-disaster retrofit and repair for modern engineering structures.

This Special Issue is dedicated but not limited to current research on theoretical, computational, experimental, and relevant research works on advanced methods in disaster mitigation, risk reduction, and resilience design of engineering structures, including methodologies and innovations on mechanical performance evaluation; modeling technologies and simulations on failure mechanisms; methodologies on vulnerability, risk, reliability, and resilience assessment; applications on disaster mitigation and risk reduction; and advanced design methodologies of innovative on resilience design of engineering structures under earthquakes, fires, winds, and tsunamis.

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.
