Building Safety Assessment and Structural Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

Reinforced concrete or steel structures have been widely applied to high-rise buildings, stadiums, and bridges due to their robust characteristics. In order to enhance the safety and resilience of such buildings under the action of earthquake, wind loading, fire hazards, etc., this Special Issue, entitled “Building Safety Assessment and Structural Analysis”, aims to develop advanced numerical methods, analytical models, and experimental techniques for the assessment of corresponding joints, members, and structures. New research articles, case studies, and reviews related to novel design approaches of steel, concrete, and composite steel–concrete structures are welcome.

Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following aspects:

• High-performance structural system;
• Flexural analysis of concrete members;
• Buckling behaviour of steel structures;
• Seismic design;
• Wind loading effects;
• Fire resistance;
• Machine learning based evaluation;
• Design theory and method;
• Numerical simulations.

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.
