Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The seismic performance of steel structures remains a key focus of civil engineering research due to their widespread application in high-risk seismic zones and their inherent ductility and adaptability.
This Special Issue will explore innovative methodologies aimed at enhancing the seismic resilience of steel structures, paying attention to both traditional and innovative seismic resisting steel systems and devices.
We welcome contributions addressing various aspects, including but not limited to the following:
- Design and assessment of steel structures;
- Numerical and experimental investigations;
- Seismic hazard analyses;
- Seismic loss estimation.
We look forward to your valuable contributions to this exciting Special Issue.
Dr. Silvia Costanzo
Guest Editor
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.
