Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ensuring the safety and operational reliability of building structures is a critical concern. Structural health monitoring provides a proactive and real-time approach to understanding the behavior of a structure, enabling the early detection of potential issues and preventing unexpected failures. Meanwhile, nondestructive testing methods offer an approach to assess structural integrity without causing additional damage, ensuring that evaluations can be conducted without compromising the safety of the structure. The importance of research in these domains lies in its capacity to enhance our understanding of structural performance, contributing to the development of robust maintenance strategies. Investigating health monitoring and nondestructive testing methods becomes imperative in establishing resilient cities, extending the lifespan of buildings, and minimizing risks associated with structural deterioration. Furthermore, with fast strides being made into the era of artificial intelligence, improvements in computing power, the emergence of algorithms, and the accumulation of monitoring data enable more possibilities for the use of intelligent structural monitoring and detection.
The main aim of this Special Issue is to explore the recent challenges and developments of intelligent monitoring and detecting approaches for building structures. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Structural health monitoring;
- Nondestructive testing;
- Building structures;
- Sensing approach;
- Signal and data processing;
- Advanced equipment development;
- Artificial intelligence.

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.
