Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-rise building design is a topic of research dedicated to ensuring the safety, sustainability and comfort of the constructed environment. Computational and experimental techniques are used for assessing the integrity of buildings over time.
In this Special Issue, papers dedicated to experimental and/or numerical studies on phenomena and analyses involved in the design of high-rise buildings are welcome. Applications focusing on buildings with lateral displacements are particularly relevant in the analyses. The safety and comfort of building occupants and pedestrians in surrounding areas are also relevant in this context. This Special Issue accepts original research, case studies and state-of-the-art review papers.
Papers published in this Special Issue should describe original works in different topics in both science and engineering, such as mechanics of structures, fire engineering, fluid–structure interaction, dynamics of structures and nonlinear analysis. This Special Issue will be of interest to researchers and academics working with service states, structural analysis of buildings, architecture, urban engineering, wind engineering, safety engineering and historical construction assessment.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Bracing systems;
- Structural stability;
- Structural instrumentation;
- Experimental methods;
- Fire safety;
- Earthquake;
- Impact;
- Fluid–structure interaction;
- Optimization;
- Vibration analysis;
- Robustness of 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
