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 & technologybicsscdamping deviceseismic designdesign base shearnonlinear response history analysisliquid storage tankearthquakewinddynamic responsefluid-solid interactioncomposite shear wallseismic behaviorquasi-static testdesign strength modelbored-pileglobal strain extensometerpile friction resistancereal-time monitoringsnow-wind combined experiment facilitysnowdriftfield observationscale experimentssimilarity criterionunderwater explosioncomposite pressure hullwhippingbreathingfailure indexlaminated glass (LG)free vibrationsfundamental frequencymechanical restraintsfield experimentsanalytical modellingFinite Element (FE) numerical modellingsuper large cooling towerwhole construction processwind vibration coefficientbuckling stabilityultimate bearing capacitysnow loadcomplex roofEOF analysischaracteristics decompositionRABT fire curvefire simulationtunnel firehigh temperaturefire safetyfire accidentvertical earthquake motionseismic responseatrium-style metro stationshaking table testwind characteristicsboundary layertyphoonhurricanefield measurementtrain derailmentderailment containment provisionscollision testingpost-derailment behaviorslurry pipe jackingfriction resistanceeffective friction coefficientpipe-soil-slurry interactionlubrication efficiencyconcreteblast loadMonte Carlo analysisseismic demandpushoversuction caissonsuction penetrationsoil plughydraulic gradientvisual testsmountainous valleybridge siteboundary transition section (BTS)numerical simulationwind tunnel testsmall radius TBM intervalequivalent continuous modelWinkler elastic foundation beam theorytransfer matrix methodhorizontal axis deviationtall timber buildingstimber compositesseismic retrofittingEurocode 8structural assessmentmasonry buildingsearthquakesseismic loadsexisting structuresreliabilityrehabilitationriskblast loadingwelded haunch connectionsteel frame structuresnon-linear dynamic analysisABAQUSmultiple degree of freedom (MDOF)frame ductility ratioHistory of engineering & technologyBedon Chiaraedt1297540Stochino FlavioedtHonfi DanieledtBedon ChiaraothStochino FlavioothHonfi DanielothBOOK9910557579303321Buildings and Structures under Extreme Loads3024515UNINA
