Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The built environment is the area of human activities that uses the most energy and resources. With climate change threatening ecosystems, biodiversity, and human life, research on energy-efficient structures has become critical. In recent decades, numerous structures and transport infrastructure projects have been built and are now increasingly unsustainable due to various factors. The optimization of these building structures is a measure of economic and environmental improvement. This Special Issue invites high-quality research studies on sustainability in building structures, including optimization, strengthening, and rehabilitation. Related innovative research articles focused on the sustainability of the construction of buildings and transportation infrastructure are also welcomed. Both experimental and modeling studies will be considered. Submitted studies must clearly identify their novelty and contribution to the state of the art.
