Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) structures have gained significant attention in modern building engineering due to their superior structural performance, combining the advantages of both steel and concrete. This Special Issue, titled "Research on Concrete Filled Steel Materials in Building Engineering", aims to explore the latest advancements, challenges, and applications of CFST materials in construction. Topics of interest include innovative design methodologies, nonlinear analysis, finite element modeling, and the behavior of CFST structures under various loading conditions. This Issue will also highlight sustainable practices, durability studies, and the integration of advanced materials into CFST systems.
Leading this Special Issue is Dr. Vipul Patel from La Trobe University, Australia, whose expertise in concrete-filled steel tubular structures, nonlinear analysis, and finite element methods ensures a high-quality collection of research. He is joined by Dr. Kasyhap A. Patel from Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology (SV-NIT), India, a renowned expert in structural engineering. Together, they invite researchers and practitioners to contribute original research, reviews, and case studies that advance the understanding and application of CFST materials in building engineering. Submissions are welcome until 30 September 2025.

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.
