Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of computational technology and the increasing demand for system behavior evaluation, numerical modeling has become a popular and powerful method in both academic research and engineering practice. When the project involves a complicated construction process, the geological stratigraphic distribution is complex, high uncertainties are embedded, or multi-scale analyses are required, numerical modeling in mechanical behavior and structural analysis is essential. However, numerical results significantly depend on the input model parameters, boundary conditions, initial assumptions, simulation tricks, etc., and theoretical researchers and in situ engineers may suspect the results to be a computational game. To help overcome the hurdles faced by the application of numerical modeling, this Special Issue will highlight recent value-added contributions to the state of the art and state of practice for numerical modeling. We seek high-quality research manuscripts addressing key numerical aspects, including the following topics:
- Advanced simulation algorithms;
- Innovative numerical simulation methods;
- Multi-scale and multi-physics computational modeling;
- Artificial intelligence-aided numerical simulation;
- Building information modeling-aided numerical modeling;
- Full-life cycle evaluation of infrastructure;
- Coupling analysis in numeric;
- Case study using numerical method (foundation pit, tunnel, slope, building, offshore structure, etc.).

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.
