Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ability to predict service life of structural systems and early identification of damages of buildings play a crucial role on expanding the service life of structures in addition to increasing safety and reliability of such facilities. In addition, the selection of durable and sustainable repair and rehabilitation materials and processes is a vital element in achieving reliable and efficient strengthening scheme for buildings and other structural systems. With the current advances in structural health monitoring and remote sensing, engineers became more equipped with the required tools to ensure safe and efficient performance of existing infrastructural systems. This special issue aims at providing the engineering community with a collection of high-quality and peer-reviewed papers addressing different aspects of Reliability Assessment and Sustainable Rehabilitation Methodologies of different Structural Systems.
Original research, theoretical and experimental, case studies, and comprehensive review papers are invited for possible publication in this special issue. Relevant topics to this special issue include, but not limited to the following subjects:
- Structural Reliability
- Structural Health Monitoring
- Damage Detection Techniques
- Sustainable Rehabilitation of Structural Systems
- Diagnostic/ prognostic Systems
- Building Environmental and Economic Sustainability (BEES),
- Early Warning Systems
- Structural Performance Indicators
- Life Cycle Assessment
- Advanced Repair & Rehabilitation Materials and Systems

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.
