All of these aspects can be critical for specific structural typologies and/or materials that are particularly sensitive to external conditions. In this regard, dedicated and refined methods are required for their design, analysis, and maintenance under the expected lifetime. There are major challenges related to the structural typology and material properties with respect to the key features of the imposed design load. Further issues can be derived from the need for risk mitigation or retrofit of existing structures as well as from the optimal and safe design of innovative materials/systems. Finally, in some cases, no appropriate design recommendations are available and, thus, experimental investigations can have a key role within the overall process. In this Special Issue, original research studies, review papers, and experimental and/or numerical investigations are presented for the structural performance assessment of buildings and structures under various extreme conditions that are of interest for design.History of engineering and technologybicsscABAQUSanalytical modellingatrium-style metro stationblast loadblast loadingbored-pileboundary layerboundary transition section (BTS)breathingbridge sitebuckling stabilitycharacteristics decompositioncollision testingcomplex roofcomposite pressure hullcomposite shear wallconcretedamping devicederailment containment provisionsdesign base sheardesign strength modeldynamic responseearthquakeearthquakeseffective friction coefficientEOF analysisequivalent continuous modelEurocode 8existing structuresfailure indexfield experimentsfield measurementfield observationFinite Element (FE) numerical modellingfire accidentfire safetyfire simulationfluid-solid interactionframe ductility ratiofree vibrationsfriction resistancefundamental frequencyglobal strain extensometerhigh temperaturehorizontal axis deviationhurricanehydraulic gradientlaminated glass (LG)liquid storage tanklubrication efficiencymasonry buildingsmechanical restraintsMonte Carlo analysismountainous valleymultiple degree of freedom (MDOF)n/anon-linear dynamic analysisnonlinear response history analysisnumerical simulationpile friction resistancepipe-soil-slurry interactionpost-derailment behaviorpushoverquasi-static testRABT fire curvereal-time monitoringrehabilitationreliabilityriskscale experimentsseismic behaviorseismic demandseismic designseismic loadsseismic responseseismic retrofittingshaking table testsimilarity criterionslurry pipe jackingsmall radius TBM intervalsnow loadsnow-wind combined experiment facilitysnowdriftsoil plugsteel frame structuresstructural assessmentsuction caissonsuction penetrationsuper large cooling towertall timber buildingstimber compositestrain derailmenttransfer matrix methodtunnel firetyphoonultimate bearing capacityunderwater explosionvertical earthquake motionvisual testswelded haunch connectionwhippingwhole construction processwindwind characteristicswind tunnel testwind vibration coefficientWinkler elastic foundation beam theoryHistory of engineering and technologyBedon Chiaraedt1297540Stochino FlavioedtHonfi DanieledtBedon ChiaraothStochino FlavioothHonfi DanielothBOOK9910557579303321Buildings and Structures under Extreme Loads3024515UNINA
