Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a new Collection titled “Editorial Board Members’ Collection Series: Building Structures ”, which will collect papers invited by the Editorial Board Members.

The aim of this collection is to provide a venue for networking and communication between Buildings and scholars in the field of Building Structures. All papers will be published in open access following peer review.

Prof. Dr. Antonio Formisano
Prof. Dr. Eva O.L. Lantsoght
Dr. Chiara Calderini

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

This study proposes a new type of composite slab with a separate joint, which not only improves the assembly rate but also enables unsupported construction. A static loading test was conducted to investigate the bending behavior of the composite slab with a separate joint under a distributed load. The test results showed that the test composite slab had good integrity and crack resistance. The separate joint can effectively transmit internal forces and conform to the requirements of practical engineering. In addition, a finite element model was developed for the composite slab. The experimental load and numerical load corresponding to the longitudinal crack penetrating the bottom surface of the slab were 9.0 kN/m2 and 8.6 kN/m2, respectively, with an error of less than 5%. It was demonstrated that the finite element model can accurately predict the mechanical behavior of the composite slab. Full article
