Mathematical work is important in the field of civil engineering. The natural variability of civil engineering design including materials properties, combined with the common problem of data scarceness, makes a probabilistic approach to structural/geotechnical design quite necessary and challenging. Risk assessments and reliability-based design are increasingly needed in many large engineering construction projects. Advanced mathematical and risk analysis is highly recognized in some design codes as a way of delivering reasonable load and resistance factors in civil engineering design.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an opportunity for researchers to exchange and disseminate the recent developments in the mathematical problems of civil engineering. All original research articles addressing significant issues and contributing towards the development of new methodologies, concepts, applications, and knowledge to science are encouraged to join this special issue. Review articles describing the current state of the art are also welcome.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Risk assessment and management in civil engineering
• Advances in mathematical modelling for civil engineering uncertainties
• Reliability method development and reliability-based design
• Mathematical problems in civil engineering: landslides, dams and levees, structural design and random vibrations
• Application of theory of statistics and probability in civil engineering
