Summary The design philosophy and methodology of civil engineering structures have been constantly evolving, from the early strength-based to more recent performance-based design and the current intensively researched emerging resilience-based design. Because failure of civil engineering structures often leads to catastrophic consequences, the primary focus of all these design methods is the safety of structures while considering other aspects such as performance and resilience. With the economic growth, population increase and urbanization, as well as global warming and the depletion of natural resources, to meet the societal need for sustainable development, the construction of civil engineering structures also needs to consider sustainability, durability and smart lifecycle management besides safety, performance and resilience.

While steel and concrete are still the main structural materials today, several promising new options have emerged as alternative or supplemental materials for structural use. These emerging materials include fiber-rein-forced polymer composites, fiber-reinforced cementitious composites, fabric-reinforced concrete, seawater sea-sand concrete, ultrahigh-performance concrete, ultrahigh-performance steel, and various types of green materials. Although these materials hold great potential for stronger, lighter and more durable structures, their adoption in structural engineering has been slow.

This Special issue covers a wide range of modern trends in the study of the analysis, design, integrity, and safety of engineering structures and materials based on experimental testing, numerical simulations, and analytical/theoretical analyses.

Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): · Design, integrity, reliability, and safety of engineering structures; · Damage mechanics; · Structural performance under extreme loadings; · Construction materials; · Condition assessment of civil infrastructure; · Fatigue reliability assessment of critical structures; · Quasi-static, earthquake, wind, impact, fire, and blast loadings; · Advances in reliability and optimization of structural systems; · Bridge analysis, design, assessment, monitoring and management; · Vibration Analysis for Civil Engineering Structures; · Management of Civil Infrastructure; · Codes and standards; · Composite structures; · Artificial Intelligence; Machine-learning
