Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Analysis and Design of Structures (ADS) is considered as a critical step and a wide research area of Civil Engineering. It is a fact that Artificial Intelligence (AI) lies at the core of the 4th Industrial Revolution. It offers major revolutionary transformations and solutions that can be employed as powerful tools in diverse and key research areas of ADS. Seismic risk assessment and the enhancement of structural resilience are major research challenges that require the aid of intelligent and robust algorithmic approaches. More flexibility and accuracy are offered by fusing intelligence and transforming typically traditional methods and practices. Moreover, the vast amounts of data can be exploited and analyzed using numerous AI algorithms, towards the development of real-life intelligent models offering civil engineers the chance to successfully overcome traditional analysis and design obstacles. This Special Issue is an open call for original research papers on the employment of 4th Industrial Revolution approaches in the domains of seismic assessment, repair and structural design in civil engineering. Authors are invited to submit original research papers on the aforementioned domains. This Special Issue aims to embrace the timely research conducted on the employment of Artificial Intelligence in the critical domains of Civil Engineering. It also aims to guide towards the development of more optimal models.

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.
