Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Steel and concrete are the two most commonly used materials in structural engineering. Steel has the characteristics of high strength, light weight, and aesthetic appeal and is widely used in large-span engineering applications like cable-stayed bridges. On the other hand, concrete plays an indispensable role in column and arch structures due to its economic feasibility, durability, and strong compressive properties. Steel–concrete composite structures can fully leverage the advantages of steel and concrete materials. Through thoughtful integration and design, safer and more stable buildings and infrastructures can be created. In summary, steel and concrete are indispensable materials in structural engineering.
In the face of increasingly complex, new structural forms and harsh service environments, evaluating the mechanical performance of new structures, ensuring durability during service life, and enhancing resilience against extreme loads are key to maintaining excellent structural performance.
This Special Issue, entitled “Experimental and Theoretical Studies on Steel and Concrete Structures”, aims to showcase state-of-the-art investigations of steel and concrete structures worldwide. Theoretical analysis, experimental research, case studies, and comprehensive review papers are invited for publication. Topics relevant to this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following subjects:
- Mechanical performance of new steel and concrete structures;
- Composite structures with UHPC and other high performance materials;
- Temperature action, wind and rain load, and other environmental impacts;
- Long-term performance of steel and concrete structures;
- The toughness of steel and concrete structures under extreme loads;
- Refined numerical simulation methods.
We look forward to hearing from you.

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.
