Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Steel has become a critical material in modern engineering construction due to its high strength, excellent ductility, and recyclability. With the continuous emergence of new steel types such as high-strength steel and weather-resistant steel, the application boundaries of steel structures continue to expand. Meanwhile, increasingly large-scale building projects and complex working conditions have posed new challenges to the long-term safety performance of steel structures under single or coupled factors such as earthquakes, fatigue, high temperatures, and corrosion. This Special Issue aims to address these cutting-edge application problems, deepen related theoretical research, and provide solid support for enhancing the safety and durability of steel structure engineering. Both original research articles and reviews are welcome.

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. 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.
