Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the reduction of urban construction land and the rise in land prices, high-rise buildings with multiple underground stories are becoming increasingly popular. In traditional design methods, structures are usually assumed to be rigid base structures, and soil–structure interactions (SSI) are not considered. However, the lessons learned from recent earthquakes gave revealed that this assumption could be misleading, and SSIs may have different effects on the seismic response of different structural systems. Moreover, previous literature has mostly concentrated on the seismic behaviour of mid-rise buildings, and high-rise buildings have not been considered due to their complexity. Therefore, there is a need to comprehensively investigate the seismic response of high-rise buildings to dynamic soil–structure interactions.
To date, researchers have not reached a consensus as to whether the effect of dynamic soil–structure interactions on the seismic performance of high-rise buildings is beneficial or detrimental. As a result, this Special Issue of Buildings will focus on innovative and emerging methods and solutions in the building sector developed by international researchers and professional engineers to promote and advance the use of state-of-the-art evaluation methods for determining the seismic behaviour of high-rise buildings under the influence of dynamic soil–structure interactions, as well as other phenomena such as the seismic pounding of the adjacent buildings.

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.
