Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Steel and steel-concrete composite structures have experienced rapid developments in recent years. To meet the requirements of practical engineering structures, including high bearing capacity, high seismic resistance and ductility, large span, good resilience, economic efficiency, etc., novel steel and steel-concrete composite structures are expected to improve the performance of current structural systems. The research toward novel steel and steel-concrete composite structures includes the development of novel structures, the structural behavior of novel structures and design approaches. Detailed investigations may be conducted by establishing new analytical and simulating techniques. The aim of this Special Issue is to promote novel steel and steel-concrete composite structural systems and expand their applications. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following aspects:
- Novel steel structures
- Novel steel-concrete composite structures
- Steel plate-concrete composite structures and technique
- Earthquake-resistant structures
- Large-span and spatial structures
- Composite structures with high-performance materials
- Numerical simulation techniques of novel steel and steel-concrete composite structures

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Buildings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
