Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The safety and resilience of civil engineering structures are continuously challenged by dynamic loading from blasts, vibrations, earthquakes, wind, etc. To protect buildings, infrastructure, and urban communities, it is crucial to deepen our understanding of the dynamic behavior of structures, develop effective vibration control strategies, and mitigate the adverse effects of vibrations. While predictive systems for ground vibrations contribute significantly to disaster prevention, more comprehensive research is needed to analyze structural responses and improve the performance and longevity of civil engineering structures under dynamic loading.
This Special Issue, titled “Structural Vibration Analysis and Control in Civil Engineering”, aims to gather and disseminate innovative scientific research in structural vibration analysis and control. The goal is to advance the understanding of structural dynamics, propose effective vibration mitigation measures, and improve the resilience of critical infrastructure, such as bridges, high-rise buildings, and other civil engineering structures. We welcome original research articles and review studies addressing the following topics:
- Dynamic response prediction of structures under various loading conditions;
- Seismic design and wind-induced vibrations in civil engineering structures;
- Measurement, spectral analysis, and energy distribution of ground vibrations;
- Attenuation laws for blast-induced and seismic vibrations;
- Active and passive vibration control systems for structural protection;
- Artificial intelligence methods for vibration prediction and control;
- Multidisciplinary approaches including experimental studies, numerical simulations, and theoretical analyses;
- Seismic vulnerability analysis and structural damage assessments.
We encourage submissions that explore cross-cutting techniques and multidisciplinary approaches to address challenges in vibration analysis and control, advancing both the scientific frontiers and practical applications in this field. Your valuable contributions will help pave the way for more resilient and durable civil engineering 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 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 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.
