Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is assumed in traditional seismic designs that structures are fixed-supported on the foundation. Actually, the soil performs obvious flexibility under dynamic excitations, which gives the mechanism of soil–structure interaction (SSI). Soil–structure interaction, developed independently of mechanics in the 1970s, is an interdisciplinary field that involves structural dynamics, soil dynamics, engineering seismology, computational mechanics, and so on.
Soil–structure interaction introduces variations to the seismic performances of structures, and scholars have come to realize that ignoring this mechanism results in potential risks to seismic designs. With the fast development of computer technology and software algorithms, the analysis of soil–structure interaction is more applicable to engineering practice than it was decades ago. It is anticipated that this analysis will allow for more advanced models and thus serve better in seismic designs in the future.
This Special Issue welcomes submissions of research results relating to soil–structure interaction, such as artificial boundary, foundation impedance, direct method and substructure method, software algorithm, engineering example, recommendations of code provisions, and site modeling. As such, we are interested in articles that describe a variety of research. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Algorithm for artificial boundary and foundation impedance;
- Engineering example with refine model and important conclusion;
- Theory on soil dynamics and site modeling;
- Applications in engineering seismic design;
- Soil–structure interaction for winds, fluid, vibration, explosion, etc.;
- Software algorithm;
- Mechanism of soil–structure interaction.

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.
