Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Steel/FRP–concrete composite structures have attracted worldwide attention in the past decades, owing to their advantages of easy construction, outstanding structural performance and better environmental benefits. Recently, innovative forms of steel/FRP–concrete composite structures have been extensively investigated to meet the requirements of high-rise buildings, long-span bridges, long tunnels and other complicated structures. We are calling for paper submissions to this Special Issue entitled ‘Advances in Steel/FRP–Concrete Composite Structures: Analysis, Design and Application’ to be published in Buildings. This Special Issue aims to give an overview of the most recent innovations and advances in the field of steel/FRP–concrete composite structures and their applications. Original theoretical research, experimental work, case studies and comprehensive review papers are encouraged to be submitted. Topics relevant to this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Innovative steel/FRP–concrete composite structures;
- Novel construction technology of composite structures;
- Composite structures containing high-performance materials, e.g., ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) and engineering cementitious composites (ECC), etc.;
- Intelligent analysis of composite structures;
- Experimental research on composite structures;
- Design methodology of composite structures;
- Nonlinear finite element analysis of 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.
