Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to advertise the second edition of our Special Issue dedicated to “Wind Load Effects on High-Rise and Long-Span Structures”. In this Special Issue, we recognize the need to enhance structural resilience against a single hazard and multiple hazards involving wind, via better load assessment methods, structural response, methods and techniques. In recent times, we witness the evolution of novel design frameworks that enable establishing load–system–response equivalences that are applicable to natural events that have traditionally coexisted in parallel. As talented visionary researchers push the boundaries towards the generation of new novel and original technologies for upgrading disaster preparedness and response, we contribute to enhance safety and reliability in engineering.
In this Special Issue, we will accept technical and non-technical approaches to estimate wind loading/wind–structure interactions in single events and in combination with separate hazards, via classical and novel theories and methods, including through forensic analysis and the scrutiny of case studies.
Papers selected for this Special Issue will be subjected to a rigorous peer review procedure with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments and applications.
I sincerely invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue and will look forward to receiving your outstanding research.
Dr. Pedro Martinez-Vazquez
Guest Editor
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.
