Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A variety of advanced metal materials, involving high-strength steel, stainless steel, aluminium alloy, and bimetallic steel, have been applied to enhance the safety and durability of the building and bridge structures under the action of earthquake, fire, moving loading, impact, corrosion, etc. Unlike low-alloy mild steel, these metal materials exhibit different mechanical properties, probably leading to different mechanical behavior and responses for the components and structures. In order to boost the application of these advanced metal materials into civil structures, this Special Issue, entitled “Mechanical Properties of Advanced Metal Structures in Civil Infrastructure”, aims to reveal the basic mechanical characteristics of these metal materials and to develop advanced numerical simulation techniques, analysis methods, and design theories for the corresponding joints, members, and structures. Both original research articles and reviews are welcome. Topics of interest will cover, but are not limited to, the following aspects:
(1) Monotonic and cyclic constitutive models;
(2) Buckling behavior;
(3) Seismic resilience;
(4) Fire resistance;
(5) Fatigue cracking mechanism and strength;
(6) Machine-learning-based evaluation and design method.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
