Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The behavior and characteristics of soil and substructure and their interaction are pertinent to the stability of the superstructure and the safety of occupants. However, different soil deposits behave distinctly under non-identical circumstances, in particular, when they are subjected to earthquake loading. Moreover, because of modern urbanization processes, extensive urban construction involving excavation adjacent to old buildings could also result in ground-movement-related issues such as uneven settlement and tilting of existing buildings. Thus, an understanding of the characteristics of urban soil and also urban soil/structure interaction under loadings imposed by earthquakes, vehicles, wind or heat is important in safeguarding newly designed buildings or mitigation measures for existing buildings. We welcome the submission of original research articles related to, but not limited to, the following topics:
Prof. Dr. Chih-Wei Lu
Dr. Meen-Wah Gui

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.
