Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the construction and use of bridges, due to environmental influences, the role of vehicles, wind, earthquakes, and other factors, as well as the continuous degradation of material properties, result in different degrees of damage and deterioration of a structure before it reaches its design life. This damage, if not detected and repaired in a timely manner, will affect the safety of traffic, shorten the service life of the structure, or even lead to a major accident. Therefore, it is a new trend in bridge structure research to prevent extreme damage to the bridge under the action of multi-hazards, to enhance the post-disaster functional recovery of infrastructure systems, and to ensure the safety and durability of bridge structures during service to ensure the safety, durability, and whole-life service quality of bridges for these sustainable development issues.
To review and summarize the latest research trends and progress in the field of bridge sustainability, to ensure the structural stability and safety of in-service and new bridges under long-term loading, and to understand the deficiencies and further development trends in this field, a Special Issue on the theme of " Bridge Engineering for Sustainability" was established.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
