Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Steel structures exposed to corrosive environments (e.g., marine, industrial, acid rain) for a long time inevitably suffer from corrosion even if some protective measures are taken. Corrosion may lead to the degradation of material and structural performance, such as bearing capacity, stability, seismic performance, fatigue life, etc., resulting in reduced reliability, shortened life, and even increased collapse risk. This produces an urgent need for the methodologies/technologies of safety evaluation, risk assessment, and performance improvement for in-service steel structures with corrosion damage. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on advances in durability test techniques, corrosion detection technologies, structural static/dynamic performance evaluation methods, and the maintenance and reinforcement technologies of steel structures, and original research papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Durability test method and technology of steel structures more in line with real corrosive environments;
- Non-destructive detect technology, characterization/evaluation method of corrosion damage for existing steel structures in a corrosive environment;
- Degradation mechanism and law of monotonic tension, stability, hysteresis, and fatigue properties of corroded steel plates;
- Failure mechanism, performance degradation law, and evaluation method of corroded steel members under static, seismic, and fatigue loads;
- Strengthening technology and design method to improve the service performance of existing steel structures with corrosion damage.

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 monthly 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.
