Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled "Application of Cold-Formed Steel in Structural Engineering", aims to explore the versatile and increasingly prevalent use of cold-formed steel in various structural engineering applications. This topic will delve into the advancements, challenges, and opportunities presented by cold-formed steel, which offers a sustainable, cost-effective, and aesthetically appealing alternative to conventional construction materials. The Special Issue will welcome the submission of articles that focus on innovative design methodologies, numerical simulations, experimental studies, and case studies, elucidating the unique attributes and performance of cold-formed steel structures. Emphasis will be placed on exploring its application in diverse structural systems, including beams, columns, frames, trusses, and other elements. Contributions addressing material behavior, design codes, connections, sustainability, and seismic performance will further enrich the discussion.
The scope of this Special Issue includes the following topics:
- Design methodologies and innovative approaches for cold-formed steel structures.
- Numerical simulations and finite element analyses of cold-formed steel elements and systems.
- Experimental studies on the behavior and performance of cold-formed steel members.
- Case studies showcasing successful applications of cold-formed steel in diverse structural projects.
- Material behavior and characteristics of cold-formed steel under various loading conditions.
- Connection design and detailing for cold-formed steel structures.
- Sustainability and environmental impact of cold-formed steel in structural engineering.
- Seismic performance and resilience of cold-formed steel structures.
- Comparative analysis of cold-formed steel with other construction materials.
- Advances in design codes and standards for cold-formed steel in structural engineering.

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.
