Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wind-induced vibration remains a critical research frontier due to the complex interplay between aerodynamic forces and structural dynamics; for high-rise buildings, these interactions are further complicated by vortex shedding, aeroelastic instabilities, and multi-modal resonant behaviors, which can compromise structural safety, serviceability, and occupant comfort. Such risks may escalate when wind loads coincide with other environmental or operational hazards, underscoring the need for resilient design paradigms.
This Special Issue seeks to advance engineering solutions for mitigating wind-induced vibrations in tall structures, and aims to bridge theoretical research and practical application by enhancing the entire lifecycle of wind-resistant design—from aerodynamic modeling and control technologies to construction-phase optimization and long-term monitoring. Contributions may include, but are not limited to, wind load estimation, innovative vibration mitigation strategies, aerodynamics and aeroelasticity, the dynamic performance enhancement of structures, multi-hazard risk assessment and resilience, wind-induced vibration, novel systems to optimize structural/aerodynamic response.
To achieve these objectives, we invite researchers to submit original work, considering the key areas listed below. We accept technical and non-technical papers provided these align with the established aim, although related research that could contribute to opening new research avenues is welcome.
Submitted studies must clearly identify their novelty and intended contribution.
Papers selected for this Special Issue are subject to a rigorous peer review procedure with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments, and applications.
I sincerely invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue and will look forward to receiving your outstanding research.

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.
