Prof. Nicola Tarque, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain
Submission status: Open | Submission deadline: 29 May 2024
Description
This Topical Collection presents research articles addressing the latest developments in materials technology, structural behavior, non-destructive testing and rehabilitation solutions. It serves as an invaluable resource for professionals seeking a comprehensive overview of the advances and critical discussions shaping the future of building pathology and rehabilitation.
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to United Nation Sustainable Development Goals 9: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure (this opens in a new tab), 11: Sustainable Cities & Communities (this opens in a new tab), and 13: Climate Action. (this opens in a new tab)
Submission guidelines
All papers must be prepared in accordance with the Instructions for Authors (this opens in a new tab). Authors should submit through the online submission site (this opens in a new tab) and select article type "TC - Building Durability, Climate Change and the Construction Life Cycle".
Please indicate in your cover letter that you wish your manuscript to be considered for the Topical Collection on Building Durability, Climate Change and the Construction Life Cycle.
Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to one of the topics of the Topical Collection. All submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of relevance, significance of contribution, technical quality, scholarship, and quality of presentation, by at least two independent reviewers. It is the policy of the journal that no submission, or substantially overlapping submission, be published or be under review at another journal or conference at any time during the review process.
Please note that the authors of selected papers presented at CINPAR 2024 are invited to submit an extended version of their contributions by taking into consideration both the reviewers’ comments on their conference paper, and the feedback received during presentation at the conference. It is worth clarifying that the extended version is expected to contain a substantial scientific contribution, e.g., in the form of new algorithms, experiments or qualitative/quantitative comparisons, and that neither verbatim transfer of large parts of the conference paper nor reproduction of already published figures will be tolerated. The extended versions of CINPAR 2024 papers will undergo the standard, rigorous journal review process and be accepted only if well-suited to the topic of this Topical Collection and meeting the scientific level of the journal. Final decisions on all papers are made by the Editors-in-Chief.
Meet the Guest Editors:Mônica Garcez is a full-time professor at the Interdisciplinary Department of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and supervisor of doctoral and master students in the Post Graduate Program in Civil Engineering: Construction and Infrastructure. She holds a PhD in civil engineering. Her research interests are: innovative sustainable engineering practices for renewal of infrastructure systems, economic and environmental evaluation of civil infrastructure, design strategies to reduce the environmental impact of civil infrastructure, waste recovery for the development of innovative building materials.
Nicola Tarque is a researcher at the Computational Mechanics Group of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain and at the Gerdis Group of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, Peru. He holds a PhD in structural and earthquake Engineering. Prof. Tarque has been involved in projects related to reinforced and unreinforced masonry, and was responsible for dynamic testing of full-scale adobe houses at Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. His latest research deals with the seismic vulnerability evaluation of masonry buildings, including numerical modeling.
