Structural Performances of Concrete Composite Members: Experimental, Theoretical, Numerical Approaches II

Recently, composite materials such as steel–concrete, FRP, and polypropylene or steel fibers have been widely applied to concrete members for the enhancement of their flexural or shear performances, crack or deflection controllability, etc. In addition to composite materials, precast prestressed concrete members are also used to construct long-span structures, underground parking lots, large logistics warehouses, and other special structures because of their excellent structural performances and efficient applicability. In this regard, this Special Issue invites original research articles dealing with experiments and theoretical or numerical modeling of structural behavior of concrete composite members that contribute to our understanding on their performances in more detail.

The scope of this Special Issue, “Structural Performances of Concrete Composite Members: Experimental, Theoretical, and Numerical Approaches”, covers every aspect of concrete composite members, including the structural behavior of reinforced concrete members with FRP, polypropylene or steel fibers, steel–concrete composite members, precast/prestressed concrete members, composite behavior between precast concrete and cast-in-place concrete, etc.

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.
