Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Steel–concrete composite structures are widely applied in modern structural engineering. With the development of research on high-performance materials, including steel and concrete, new areas of studies related composite structures have also emerged. Meanwhile, the advantages of composite structures facilitate the full assembly of structures, and the improved structural behaviors of the prefabricated composite structures such as integrity, seismic performance, and fatigue performance have garnered the attention of researchers worldwide. The aim of this Special Issue is to collate research exploring the recent advancements made in the development of composite structures. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Mechanical performance of novelty shear connectors;
- Behaviors of steel-concrete composite members;
- Numerical modeling of composite structures;
- Interity of prefabricated compoiste strucures;
- Disaster-resistance performance of composite structures;
- Light-weighted structures;
- UHPC-normal concrete composite structures;
- Fatigue and fracture performance of UHPC 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.
