Corrosion and Seismic Resistance of Structures
This special issue belongs to the section "Building Structures".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid expansion of global infrastructure has highlighted the importance of understanding and mitigating the effects of structural material corrosion and enhancing the seismic resilience of structures against natural disasters. Corrosion, a pervasive issue, not only compromises the mechanical integrity of materials but also leads to premature structural failure. Earthquakes, being unpredictable and devastating natural events, necessitate stringent seismic design criteria for buildings and infrastructure. This Special Issue will synthesize the latest research from the fields of corrosion science, materials engineering, structural design, and earthquake engineering. It will explore the complex interplay between corrosion and seismic resistance, shedding light on their combined impact on structural integrity.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
