Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Contemporary bamboo/wood is a high-strength material made by gluing units such as strands, strips, or sheets together after undergoing high-temperature gluing. Clearly, this is a new type of environmentally friendly structural material with great advantages. In response to global calls to reduce carbon emissions and to accommodate for the trend of the further development of contemporary bamboo/wood structures in the direction of multi-story and high-rise buildings, a growing number of researchers have conducted studies on modern bamboo/wood.
This Special Issue of Buildings, titled “Research on Seismic Performance of Timber/Bamboo Buildings”, focuses on the material and structural properties of contemporary bamboo/wood buildings, in particular the seismic properties, long-term performance, and structural reliability of contemporary bamboo/wood structures.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Material properties of bamboo/wood structures, such as the fracture toughness, stress–strain relationship studies, etc.;
- Component properties of bamboo/wood structures, such as the nonlinear study of beams/plates/columns, etc.;
- Seismic properties of bamboo/wood structures, such as the study of energy-consuming nodes, etc.;
- Fire resistance of bamboo/wood structures;
- Long-term properties of bamboo/wood structures, such as creep, aging studies, etc.;
- Studies on the reliability of bamboo/wood construction.

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.
