Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit a manuscript to our Special Issue of Buildings. As an important part of underground engineering development, supporting structures are of great significance for the safety, function, and aesthetics of underground structures. This Special Issue focuses on providing a platform for the design, monitoring, simulation, and analysis of underground structures. The topic of interest covers the design and analysis of underground engineering structures in the fields of transportation, mining, water conservancy, and hydropower, including theoretical analyses, model and field tests, numerical simulations, etc. High-quality case studies and critical literature reviews are also welcome.

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.
