The Vibration Control of Building Structures

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to research on the vibration control of building structures, which presents a current and necessary interest in the design and subsequent protection of buildings. Papers within the Special Issue must focus on one of the following subjects:

• Vibrations transmitted to constructions from external sources of vibrations, shocks, and explosions;
• Vibrating movements of constructions with earthquakes as the source;
• Structural vibrations produced by dynamic equipment installed on foundations or construction elements of the building envelope;
• The passive isolation of building vibrations using various systems and materials;
• The control of vibrations and structural noise transmitted in buildings;
• Comfort conditions in constructions for noise and vibration pollution;
• Methods and dynamic equipment for building foundations on natural land with material additions (foundations for public buildings and foundations for roads);
• Systems used for the monitoring, acquisition, and processing of acceleration signals of seismic movements intended for buildings located in areas with significant seismicity.

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.
