Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Concrete materials and structures are the most important components of current buildings, such as beams, columns, slabs, and other structural members, which are widely used in urban multi-story buildings, high-rise buildings, and super high-rise buildings. However, in the event of a fire, due to the effects of high temperature, flue gas movement and hot air convection in combustion, RC structural elements are often seriously damaged, which affects the overall safety of the structure. Scholars have carried out a lot of research on the fire resistance of concrete or steel material and structural elements, but most studies focus on ordinary concrete material itself or a single member. Therefore, it is still a challenge to accurately and comprehensively describe the fire behavior of concrete materials and structures under actual working conditions.
This Special Issue aims to collect information on the fire or post-fire behavior of RC structural elements, including new concrete materials, steel, prestressed concrete, cast-in-place concrete structures, prefabricated concrete structures, etc. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) tests, numerical methods, and analytical models to study the mechanical behavior and failure patterns of concrete material and structural members under high temperatures or after fire.

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. Fire 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 2400 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.
