Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structural health monitoring (SHM) has emerged as a crucial technology for ensuring the safety, durability, and serviceability of civil infrastructures. This Special Issue focuses on the latest advances in applied SHM, encompassing innovative sensing technologies, multi-sensor data fusion, real-time monitoring systems, and intelligent damage detection algorithms. Contributions may include experimental studies, field implementations, and case studies that demonstrate practical applications in bridges, buildings, tunnels, and other critical structures. The goal is to highlight interdisciplinary approaches that bridge theoretical developments and engineering practice, fostering the adoption of SHM for resilient and sustainable infrastructure management.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
