Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The soil-structure interaction (SSI) is one of the most important and complex issues in civil engineering, and it has drawn many scholars’ attention in recent decades. The soil and structure, which have different physical and mechanical properties, are analyzed as a whole with their deformation satisfying the compatibility conditions. SSI changes the stress/strain state of the soil and structure to some degree, and thus affects the safety and stability of the building’s engineering. The study of SSI requires the use of interdisciplinary knowledge including soil mechanics, structural mechanics, foundation engineering, mathematics and computer technology. Overall, further understanding SSI can provide both a theoretical basis and practical methods for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of civil engineering structures.

The main aim of this Special Issue is to introduce new cutting-edge theory and approaches to the study of SSI. Topics include but are not limited to:

  • Laboratory and in situ tests on SSI;
  • Contact surface constitutive theory;
  • Multiscale numerical simulation of SSI;
  • Advanced computational method of SSI;
  • Application of new theory and approach to practical engineering.

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.
