Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue seeks to enhance the comprehension and evolution of sustainable and resilient civil engineering structures by tackling the dual concerns of environmental sustainability and structural resilience. The focus is on innovative methodologies, materials, and technologies that contribute to sustainable construction practices and enhance the resilience of civil engineering structures against hazards. Topics of interest, focusing on performance and assessment under hazards and environmental effects, include (but are not limited to):
- New civil engineering materials/products aimed at enhanced performance or sustainability;
- Emerging civil engineering structural systems, such as sustainable and self-centering structures;
- Retrofitting existing civil engineering structures;
- Application of smart materials for civil engineering structures;
- Performance evaluation or design of 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 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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
