Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing demand for sustainable transportation has led to a significant interest in developing rail transit networks for both intra-city and inter-city travel. However, train-induced vibrations transmitted through soils to nearby buildings have become widely recognized environmental concerns, causing significant negative influence on nearby buildings, sensitive equipment, and residents. Additionally, earthquakes can cause serious physical impacts on buildings, resulting in economic losses and human casualties and injuries. Consequently, this Special Issue will focus on the modelling method and propagation characteristics of train-induced and seismic vibration on soils and buildings as well as efficient mitigation methods.
We invite original research articles and reviews that encompass a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
- Characteristics of vibration sources, soil dynamics, building vibrations, and noise.
- Physical modelling, experimental investigations, and on-site monitoring of ground and building vibrations, as well as noise induced by railway traffic or earthquakes.
- Analysis of soil–building dynamic interaction.
- Techniques and methods for vibration reduction in buildings and surrounding areas.
- Utilization of artificial intelligence in soil dynamics and building vibrations.
- Development of guidelines and standards pertaining to building vibrations and noise.

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.
