Research on Industrialization and Intelligence in Building Structures

Dear Colleagues,

Industrialization and intelligence are the new development directions in building structure research, which meet the development needs of performance, economy, environmental protection and other aspects needed to overcome modern challenges. Alongside technological development and innovation in past decades, the new building structure system represented by prefabricated buildings has become a hotspot in building industrialization. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence technology is emerging as a highly researched field and has shown broad prospects in assisting structure building. For these reasons, it is crucial to explore the developments and implementations of new structural systems, materials, methods and technologies in the wide realm of building structure industrialization and intelligence; therefore, this Special Issue of Buildings “Industrialization and Intelligence in Building Structures” will address these areas.

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

• novel prefabricated buildings/structures;
• novel structural materials;
• high-performance concrete;
• intelligent methods in structural analysis and design;
• intelligent construction;
• intelligent methods in structural health monitoring;
• structural optimization.

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.
