Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thanks to the sustainable and renewable attributes of wood, timber building has been subject to significant attention around the world and has been rapidly developed in recent years. Existing engineering examples have proven that timber structures have significant application prospects in high-rise and open-span buildings.
To make full use of wood materials and improve the mechanical properties of timber members, it is reliable and efficient to form timber composite structures by introducing other building materials, such as steel, concrete, bamboo, etc. Continuous innovative studies on timber composite structures are necessary in order to improve their structural behavior, long-term performance, fire resistance, as well as their vibration and sound insulation performance.
This Special Issue will showcase high-quality original research articles on the latest developments of timber composite structures with various combinations. The scope of the Special Issue includes (but is not limited to) timber–concrete composite structures, steel–timber composite structures, bamboo–wood composite structures, and the application of composite materials in timber structures. In addition, this Special Issue also provides space for review papers to provide insights into research status and development tendency. We are pleased to invite you to provide your invaluable articles to our Special Issue.

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.
