Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Engineering structures are very important to people and society. It is crucial to understand the static and dynamic behaviours of engineering structures in order to enhance their design, construction, maintenance, management, etc. However, this understanding is challenging for many structures. On the one hand, under different loads, the same structures have different behaviours; on the other hand, different structures present varying behaviour when subjected to different loads.
Thus, this Special Issue provides a forum for recent studies on the static and dynamic behaviours of engineering structures. Topics of interest for this Special Issue may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Engineering structures such as bridges, buildings, infrastructures, etc.
- Static loads such as fires, snow, heavy furniture, etc.
- Dynamic loads such as seismic loads, wind loads, traffic loads, human-induced loads, etc.
Contributions dealing with new investigations/insights for new structures and/or new loads, which broaden the understanding of behaviour of engineering structures, are particularly welcome.

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 monthly 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
