Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Urbanization and diverse construction needs have increased the importance of steel and composite structures in modern architecture and civil engineering. These structures must perform well under static conditions and remain extremely safe and reliable under dynamic loads such as seismic, wind, and other loads. This Special Issue aims to gather recent innovative research on the static and dynamic performance of steel and composite structures, covering advancements in their materials, design methods, analysis techniques, construction practices, and maintenance technologies. The goal is to provide a scientific basis and technical support for engineering practice, thereby promoting the development and application of these structures in various fields.
