Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Frame structures, made of steel, reinforced concrete, or a combination of both, are widely utilized in modern building construction. In recent decades, the structural performance and design methods of large-scale frame structures under natural or man-made hazards have drawn widespread attention in the civil engineering community because of the possibility of collapse. These hazards include earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, tsunamis, blasts, fires, corrosions, etc. To increase structural resilience and reduce collapsing potential for frame structures, new knowledge, tools, and standards are required to improve structural performance to withstand these hazards.
This Special Issue welcomes submissions of original experimental, numerical, or theoretical research, as well as review papers on risk evaluation, risk reduction, structural resilience, or the structural robustness of large-scale frame structures. Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Building-level structural performance assessment;
- Performance criteria development of structural systems;
- Risk evaluation and mitigation of structural systems;
- Structural robustness and structural resilience of structural systems;
- Structural performance of steel, reinforced concrete, and composite structures.

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.
