Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Seismic excitation can represent significant intimidation to the civil engineering infrastructures because of inducing pernicious damage and possible structural failures. In case of damages occurred, immediate actions may be urgent to prevent further degradation that can have catastrophic consequences. A certain level of an earthquake depends on several uncertainties, where the seismic risk uncertainties are related to the location, size, frequency, and effect of an earthquake. Seismic safety evaluation against this certain level of earthquake has a great impact on the infrastructures.
Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on failure risk assessment of civil engineering infrastructures in the seismically hazardous area. Alongside this, this issue will cover the following research themes as well:
- Development of advanced technology for civil engineering infrastructures to mitigate seismic damage
- Adoption of civil engineering infrastructures capacity strengthening new technologies like FRP, CFRP, MRT, etc. or used in an existing under-designed or damaged infrastructures
- Effect of seismic response reduction compared to the existing model technique with and without the application of seismic mitigation systems
- Derive a simple system to improve the seismic safety evaluation under hazard consideration
- Seismic reliability-based safety evaluation
- Determination of most failure contribution IM of seismically induced structure
- Generating computational tools for the proposed methodology
- This issue contains the reinforced concrete structure, steel structure, composite or hybrid structure, etc. considering the different natural hazardous conditions like earthquake, fire, flood, etc.

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.
