Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structural Engineering in Building is an important topic for the development of safe, resilient, and sustainable infrastructure that can withstand natural hazards such as earthquakes, hurricanes, storms, floods, landslides, etc. For this reason, in order to mitigate the effects of natural hazards and permanent loads on buildings, structural engineering has constantly evolved. Nowadays, it is possible to find not only traditional masonry structures and tall, reinforced concrete or steel buildings; moreover, the development of new energy dissipation devices and a better understanding and assessment of natural and anthropogenic loads on buildings has become of great interest to the scientific engineering community.
This Special Issue, “Structural Engineering in Building”, aims to present recent advances in the development of structural engineering for safer buildings. Manuscripts related to earthquakes or wind-resistant design of buildings, structural response of buildings under natural hazards, experimental tests, new materials, the estimation of earthquake and wind loads, artificial intelligence methods for structural engineering, seismology, new and modern buildings, resilient design, life cycle cost analysis, seismic and wind records, structural vulnerability, optimum design, and related topics to structural engineering are welcome.

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.
