Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our forthcoming Special Issue, entitled “Advanced Structural Techniques for Seismic and Wind Resilience: Innovations in Safety and Performance—2nd Edition”, aims to provide a platform fostering discussion on the latest structural design methodologies, innovative energy dissipation systems, and emerging data-driven technologies that ensure the stable and secure behavior of structures under external loads, such as seismic and wind forces.
Seismic and wind loads continue to pose significant risks to buildings, highlighting the importance of optimized structural design and safety assurance for researchers and practitioners alike. Furthermore, the rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies presents new opportunities to enhance structural resilience, offering superior precision in performance prediction and health monitoring.
This Special Issue will cover the following topics:
- Structural design for seismic and wind load resistance;
- Structural response analysis using nonlinear dynamic methods;
- Structural damping systems for seismic and wind load mitigation;
- Efficient seismic retrofitting solutions;
- Mechanical devices for vibration absorption;
- Optimized and efficient structural design approaches;
- Nonlinear dynamic analysis and validation;
- Experimental validation of structural performance;
- AI and machine learning applications in structural health monitoring (SHM) and damage detection;
- Data-driven approaches for structural optimization and performance prediction;
- Digital twin technologies for real-time assessment of seismic and wind responses.
In addition, we welcome original research articles that address novel and innovative technologies for seismic and wind resilience beyond the topics listed above.
We hope to encourage active participation from a range of researchers, fostering a productive forum for meaningful discourse. The submission deadline for this Special Issue is 30 November 2026.
Thank you for your interest and contributions.

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-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.
