Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structural and earthquake engineering has been a crucial field of study for decades, with the aim of ensuring the safety and stability of buildings and structures during natural disasters. The recent advances and innovations in this field have been significant, providing new solutions to long-standing challenges and paving the way for more efficient and effective approaches to structural design.
The Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to share their knowledge and experiences in this field. We welcome original research articles, review papers, and case studies covering a wide range of topics related to structural and earthquake engineering, including but not limited to:
- Seismic design and analysis of structures;
- Retrofitting and rehabilitation of existing structures;
- Performance-based design and assessment;
- Innovative materials and technologies;
- Structural health monitoring and damage detection;
- Resilient infrastructure and community planning;
- Risk assessment and mitigation strategies.
