Cold-Formed Steel Structures
This special issue belongs to the section “Building Structures“.
Special Issue Information
Cold-formed steel (CFS) members are made from structural quality sheet steel that are formed into C-sections and other shapes by roll forming the steel through a series of dies. No heat is required to form the shapes (unlike hot-rolled steel), hence the name cold-formed steel. A variety of steel thicknesses are available to meet a wide range of structural and non-structural applications. CFS structures are however susceptible to different buckling failures, which can cause significant damages to CFS structures. Therefore, Dr Roy warmly invites authors to submit their papers for potential inclusion in this Special Issue of “Cold-formed steel structures", on themes that may include but are not limited to:
- High strength CFS structures
- Stability of CFS beams and columns
- Seismic response of CFS structures
- CFS portal frames
- Web crippling of CFS sections
- Fire and seismic performance of CFS framed shear walls
- Hysteretic behaviour of CFS wall panels
- Fire furnace tests on CFS members
- Cold-formed stainless steel sections
- CFS cladding systems
- Sustainability of CFS 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 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.
