Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The seismic response of building structures and safety assessments have always attracted a lot of attention. In recent years, there has been great progress in both numerical simulation and on-site monitoring of the building seismic response. Structural safety assessment has also expanded from protecting people from earthquake damage to ensuring appropriate safety margins against large earthquakes. On the other hand, the earthquake disaster surveys also show that many non-ductile design building structures were destroyed, and some newly built ductile-design building structures were damaged. Based on the information presented above, this Special Issue calls for submissions on the seismic response and safety assessment of building structures. The topics of interest include but are not limited to numerical simulation, on-site monitoring, safety margin assessment, non-ductile structures, ductile design, and case study analyses. The Special Issue is expected to help gain better understanding into the simulated and recorded seismic responses of building structures during recent earthquakes, promoting the development of structural safety assessment and the applications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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. Applied Sciences 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.
