Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the past few decades, innovative composite structures, e.g., steel–concrete, FRP confined concrete, high-performance concrete structures have been widely used in civil engineering because of their high performance. As climate changes and extreme natural disasters accelerate, green, resilient and sustainable composite structures show a promising future and have been emerging as a highly focused research areas. This Special Issue is dedicated to the advances in the development, design and construction of green, resilient and sustainable composite structures, the topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Design ofcomposite structures with green and sustainable materials, e.g., High performance fibre reinforced cementitious materials; Recycled concrete; Stainless steel; Aluminium alloy; Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP); Geopolymer concrete
- Development and design of earthquake-resilient prefabricated composite structures;
- The safety assessment of underground structures (such as tunnels, subways, underground caverns, or foundations);
- Self-centering composite structures;
- Composite structuresin bridge engineering;
- Retrofitting of existing structures;
- Machine-learning based design/modelling of composite structures；
- Reliability analysis of composite structures;
- Composite structures under extreme loads or events;
- Novel numerical analysis and simulation methods of composite structures

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 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 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.
