Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to academic researchers who want to propose studies in the main fields of civil engineering.
Innovative contributions and feature papers are welcome, especially in those subject areas of civil engineering falling within the scope of the following sections in CivilEng, namely: (i) Structural and Earthquake Engineering; (ii) Geotechnical, Geological and Environmental Engineering; (iii) Water Resources and Coastal Engineering; (iv) Urban, Economy, Management and Transportation Engineering; (v) Construction and Material Engineering.
Areas of interest for the Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Solid mechanics: elasticity; plasticity; viscosity; damage; fracture.
- Structural engineering: dynamics; stability; monitoring; control; identification and diagnosis; wind–, ground– and fluid–structure interactions; assessment, reliability and optimization of structures; strengthening and retrofitting of existing structures.
- Earthquake engineering: soil–structure interaction; tectonics and seismology; seismic vibration control; protection systems; repair and strengthening; tsunamis.
- Environmental engineering: climate changes; ecosystems; renewable energy; recycling.
- Geotechnical engineering: foundations; retaining structures; soil dynamics; site characterization; slope stability.
- Survey and geo-spatial engineering: geodesy; digital photogrammetry; geographic information systems; remote sensing; satellite navigation.
- Water resources engineering: hydropower project construction; water resource plan and management; water conservation and pollution; climate change and flood control.
- Coastal and harbor engineering: waves; tides and currents; dredging; sediment transport; climate change and sea level; waterways; extreme weather events and hazards; shore protection and enhancement.
- Transport engineering: road and railway engineering; air transportation; bridge and tunnel engineering; traffic control; transportation optimization; safety analysis; road maintenance.
- Building physics and sustainable materials: new materials; improved materials; eco-materials
- Municipal or urban engineering: urban planning; supply networks; landscape design; design esthetics; public utilities; underground utilities; maintaining and renewing architecture; environmental assessment.
- Engineering and economy: cost-effectiveness analysis; risk analysis; design economics; managing production operations; consumer adoption; policy analysis.
- Construction engineering: construction management; performance-based design; construction material handling and selection; surface modification; construction pollution control.

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. CivilEng is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
