Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As key components within civil infrastructure transportation systems, bridges overcome geopolitical barriers and can serve as a communication facility that span across rivers, lakes, seas, and gorges. Bridges are usually regarded as an important cornerstone of economic development and a symbol of scientific development for a country. In order to cope with complex service environments (e.g., extreme temperature variations, seawater corrosion, and strong wind conditions) and to meet stringent service requirements (e.g., longer span, lighter weight, and higher piers), various studies have been carried out throughout the world, such as high-performance materials, bridge design methods, structural simulation technologies, vibration control technologies, construction strategies, bridge monitoring technologies, and safety evaluation technologies.
This Special Issue of the journal Applied Sciences, “New Technologies of Steel and Concrete Bridges”, addresses the latest research achievements regarding steel and concrete bridges. This Special Issue is open for all contributors in the field and is welcoming both original research and review papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, new materials with low density and high durability, prefabricated construction technology, intelligent measurement technology, data-driven load modeling technology, bridge calculation technology that considers coupling load effects, bridge construction technology based on visualization methods, application of artificial intelligence in bridge operation and maintenance, and bridge management technologies.

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.
