All of these aspects can be critical for specific structural typologies and/or materials that are particularly sensitive. Dedicated and refined methods are thus required for design, analysis, and maintenance under structures' expected lifetimes. Major challenges are related to the structural typology and material properties. Further issues are related to the need for the mitigation or retrofitting of existing structures, or from the optimal and safe design of innovative materials/systems. Finally, in some cases, no design recommendations are available, and thus experimental investigations can have a key role in the overall process. For this SI, we have invited scientists to focus on the recent advancements and trends in the sustainable design of high-performance buildings and structures. Special attention has been given to materials and systems, but also to buildings and infrastructures that can be subjected to extreme design loads. This can be the case of exceptional natural events or unfavorable ambient conditions. The assessment of hazard and risk associated with structures and civil infrastructure systems is important for the preservation and protection of built environments. New procedures, methods, and more precise rules for safety design and the protection of sustainable structures are, however, needed.History of engineering and technologybicsscMaterials sciencebicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscalkali-activated mix designanalytical modelassessmentbeam-column jointbeam-column jointsbeamscapacity reductioncase studycement-based composites (CBCs)cloud analysisCLTCO2 emissioncompositescompressive strengthconcreteconstruction demolition wastecorner jointcorrosioncrackcultural heritagecyclic loadingdeep beamdeteriorationdisplacementductile wallsductilityearthquakeembodied energyempirical formulationsengineering demand parameters (EDPs)Eurocode 8FEM analysisferrocementfinite element (FE) numerical modellingfinite element (FE) numerical modelsfire exposurefly ashfrictiongranulated blast-furnace slaggreen building materialgreen mortarinterior jointjoint's numerical modelinglinear regressionload-bearing glassmetaheuristic optimizationmodified reinforcement technique (MRT)non-linear incremental dynamic analyses (IDA)ordinary Portland cementpalm oil fly ashq-factorrecycled ceramicsrecycled waste materialreinforced concretereinforcementseismic designshear capacityshear strengthstainless steelstirrupstructural glasssupport vector regressiontemperaturethermal boundariesthermal expansionthermochromictimberwaste managementZagrebHistory of engineering and technologyMaterials scienceTechnology: general issuesBedon Chiaraedt1297540Stepinac MislavedtFasan MarcoedtVedrtnam AjitanshuedtYoussef Maged AedtBedon ChiaraothStepinac MislavothFasan MarcoothVedrtnam AjitanshuothYoussef Maged AothBOOK9910576874403321Sustainable Structural Design for High-Performance Buildings and Infrastructures3028877UNINA
