Steel Structural Stability in Civil Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Steel members have widespread applications in civil engineering structures, namely in bridges and buildings. The ongoing progress in computational tools and design codes, as well as aesthetic demands, is fostering the development of increasingly innovative and complex thin-walled steel load-carrying structural systems, which are generally highly susceptible to complex stability phenomena that need to be properly addressed during the design process.

This Special Issue aims to present recent high-quality original research concerning theoretical, numerical, experimental and design advances in the field of structural stability in civil engineering structures, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Members (beams, columns, beam-columns) and structural systems;
• Plates and shells;
• Thin-walled members;
• Advanced analysis methods;
• Computational methods;
• Carbon and stainless steel;
• Static and seismic loading.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
