Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, there are a large number of existing buildings worldwide, some of which have become cultural relics. The structural forms of existing buildings include masonry structures, timber structures, reinforced concrete structures, steel structures, and so on. During the use of existing buildings, factors such as material performance degradation, increased floor load, structural modifications, and improvement of seismic requirements are inevitable, which may pose structure safety hazards. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a state assessment of existing building structures and decide whether to take effective strengthening measures. This has attracted the attention of many researchers and engineers worldwide, and more innovative state assessment methods and strengthening techniques are worth studying. This Special Issue focuses on the latest developments in the abovementioned research content.
