Steel Structures Design and Evaluation in Building Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Steel offers significant advantages, including sustainability, recyclability, formability, and architectural expression. When used in building structures, steel provides speedy construction, safety, robustness, and ductility. Cold-formed steel (CFS) has been extensively used in low- to mid-rise structures due to various attractive properties, such as high strength-to-weight ratio, non-combustibility, and ease of installation, which make CFS an attractive option for residential and light-commercial building structures. The aim of this Special Issue is to cover the design and assessment of steel structures, particularly within the steel building industry. This issue also focuses on the behavior and design of cold-formed steel structures.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not restricted to, structural steel research, structural engineering and innovations, structural dynamics, structural stability, light weight structures, and steel framing.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Amir M. Yousefi

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
