Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the evolution of human society, there has been an increasing number of functional and convenient engineering structures; therefore, the sustainability challenges of engineering structures are also increasing. On the one hand, engineering structures such as tunnels, dams and buildings may face a series of safety risks during the construction process, posing threats to the personal safety of the construction personnel and the stability of the related engineering structures. On the other hand, these engineering structures may suffer from various loads during normal operation, such as construction disturbance, earthquakes, and explosions, etc., which seriously threaten the safety and stability of engineering structures.
In the 21st century, the rapid urbanization of countries around the world draws the attention of researchers to the risks involved in the construction and operation of infrastructure. Scholars and practitioners around the world conducted many studies on "Engineering Structure Safety and Risk Management of Sustainability", and proposed many new mathematical and experimental methods to optimize the design of engineering structures, based on a certain level of risk adaptation to ensure the reliability of engineering structures and safe operations.
This Special Issue provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest theories and methods in "Engineering Structure Safety and the Risk Management of Sustainability" from a multidisciplinary perspective. This Special Issue also welcomes review articles on current, state-of-the-art sustainable engineering processes. In addition, topical papers related to the topic of "Engineering Structural Safety and Risk Management of Sustainability" that are not included in the list below are also welcome:
- Seismic performance of engineering structures;
- Reliability assessment of engineering structures;
- Dynamic response of engineering structures;
- Engineering structure safety control;
- Risk management for engineering construction;
- Engineering material failure analysis;
- Intelligent analysis methods for engineering structure risk assessment;
- Engineering efficient and sustainable construction control technology.

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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
