Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The numerical simulation of structures has developed considerably over the last few years. The techniques and approaches used to simulate small up to large-scale structures are being updated and improved to support the engineers and their decision-making in design, rehabilitation, and maintenance. The evolution of numerical simulation has allowed the engineering industry to reach complex projects and raise the bar for the development of efficient, sustainable, and safe structures. Additionally, recent algorithms are supporting the reduction of computational time and effort, which may play a critical role in the industrial environment of nowadays.
This Special Issue aims to cover the recent advances and challenges in the numerical simulation of civil engineering structures. We invite the submission of new research, case studies, projects, reviews and state-of-the-art discussions related to the numerical simulation of structures. In addition, the works can be related to the following topics:
- Engineering optimization
- CAD Integration
- Multiscale and multiphysics applications
- Crash and impact simulation
- Strengthening and retrofitting
- Approximation techniques (FEM, FV, DEM, BEM, PUM and meshless methods, isogeometric analysis, phase-field modeling)
- Domain decomposition methods
- High order methods
- Coupling strategies (Fluid-structure interaction, multi-model, multiscale)
- Optimal control
- Error estimation and mesh/modeling adaptation
- Stochastic approaches, Uncertainty quantification
- Algorithms
- Parallel computing
- Code development
- High Performance Computing
- Image processing
- Mesh generation
- Machine learning and data-driven approaches

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
