Research on Seismic Performance of Reinforced Concrete Structures and Components—2nd Edition

This special issue belongs to the section “Building Structures“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Earthquake disasters pose a continuous threat to human society. Enhancing the seismic performance of reinforced concrete structures is a core issue in the field of civil engineering. With the development of industrialized construction, diversified functional requirements and intelligent technologies, new opportunities and challenges emerge in traditional seismic research. This Special Issue aims to gather the latest achievements of global scholars in the research of seismic performance of reinforced concrete structures and precast concrete structures. The Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following content:

  • Seismic performance of RC structures and components.
  • Precast concrete structures and components.
  • Anti-collapse performance of RC structures.
  • Seismic retrofitting of structures and components
  • Seismic design code developments and related issues
  • Research and development of disaster resilient structures

Some related research papers have been published in the previous edition of this Special Issue, which can be accessed using the following link:

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.
