Advanced Numerical and Computer Methods in Civil Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

The developments and applications of advanced numerical and computer methods in civil engineering have become increasingly more important for modern engineers and researchers in recent decades. Advanced numerical and computer methods can be used, from the material level to the structural level, for solving nearly all engineering problems solely or in combination with experimental/theoretical studies. In this Special Issue, we would like to collect manuscripts that present recent progress either in the novel development or the new application of advanced numerical and computer methods for solving problems in civil engineering. Our interests include but are not limited to the following areas:

• Advanced finite element/meshless/boundary element/peridynamic/discrete element/date-driven based/machine-learning based/CFD technologies in civil engineering;
• Advanced atom-level/molecular-level/cross-scale/multi-physics modeling in civil engineering;
• Advanced strength/stability/failure/fatigue/fracture/dynamic/thermal/accoustic analysis and optimization in civil engineering with numerical and computer methods;
• Other contents in the scope of advanced numerical and computer methods in civil engineering.

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-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.
