Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Seismic ground motions play a crucial role in structural engineering, influencing the design, analysis, and performance of buildings under earthquake loading. Understanding the characteristics and behavior of seismic ground motions is essential for engineers to develop effective strategies for mitigating earthquake-induced damage and ensuring the safety and resilience of structures. By studying the amplitude, frequency, duration, and directionality of ground motions, engineers can assess the seismic hazard and design structures that can withstand various levels of earthquake shaking. Advanced analytical tools, such as finite element analysis and dynamic structural modeling, are employed to accurately simulate the response of structures to seismic ground motions. Additionally, seismic ground motion data are utilized in the development and refinement of building codes and seismic design standards, guiding engineers in designing structures that meet stringent safety requirements and contribute to the overall resilience of communities in earthquake-prone regions.

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.
