Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As one pioneering structural engineer once emphasized, "The essence of earthquake engineering lies not in predicting seismic events, but in ensuring structures remain functional when subjected to dynamic forces." The seismic and vibration performance of structures represents a cornerstone of modern civil engineering, profoundly influencing public safety, infrastructure longevity, and community resilience. This performance is increasingly defined by evolving trends, persistent challenges, expanding applications, and transformative innovations in design and technology. This Special Issue will explore the cutting-edge developments in seismic and vibration engineering, welcoming original research and reviews covering seismic design trends, advanced vibration control strategies, innovative materials for resilient structures, performance-based design frameworks, real-time structural health monitoring, computational modelling and simulation techniques, artificial intelligence applications in vibration analysis, case studies of successful seismic retrofitting, and insights from recent global seismic events. Contributions that combine theoretical advancements with practical implementation are particularly encouraged.

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.
