Structural Wind Engineering, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Wind–structure interaction is a hot topic in the field of civil engineering. This, along with the effects of climate change, has stimulated designers’ interest in lightweight structures. Open spaces, large spans, and new materials necessitate a light structure sensitive to wind and its dynamics. However, few software programs permit the calculation of wind–structure interactions through dynamic and geometrical nonlinear analyses. Thus, researchers and designers have computed subroutines and analytical models to investigate this relationship. In addition, determining wind–structure interaction requires experimental tests in wind tunnels or fluid dynamic simulations to estimate loads and predict wind streamlines. However, as these methods are time-consuming and require complex calculation, few have taken this approach. Papers on large-span roofs, bridges, high-rise buildings, nonstructural elements, comfort analyses, code update proposals, and analytical models are welcome in this Special Issue, titled Structural Wind Engineering, 2nd Edition.

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. 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.
