Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Compared with pre-stressed and steel-reinforced concrete structures, steel–concrete composite structures combine steel and concrete with shear connectors, providing the flexibility of steel and strength of concrete to solve the issues of large spans and heavy loads. Steel–concrete composite beams are widely used in engineering, owing to their excellent mechanical properties and economic benefits. This Special Issue, entitled “Numerical and Experimental Research on Steel-Concrete Composite Structural Systems”, aims to give an overview of the most recent innovations and advances in the field of steel–concrete composite structures and their applications. Theoretical research, experimental work, case studies and comprehensive review papers are invited for publication. Relevant topics to this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following subjects:
- Composite structural systems;
- Innovative forms of composite structures;
- Numerical models of composite structures;
- Intelligent analysis of composite structures;
- Experimental research on composite structures;
- Construction technology of composite structures;
- Application of high-performance materials in 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.
