Building Structures: Applications of Steel Structures in Seismic Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Steel structures are widely used in engineering structures due to their great strength, low weight, high load-bearing capacity, and superior seismic performance, along with their environmental and economic benefits, making them one of the most important types of modern structures. In recent years, earthquake disasters have been frequent, and thus people began to focus on the seismic performance of steel structures, higher requirements were put forward regarding the strength and performance of steel structures, and gradually this has become a research hotspot. This Special Issue will focus on “Building Structures: Applications of Steel Structures in Seismic Engineering”, with papers that include but are not limited to experimental research, theoretical analysis, and finite element analysis.
