Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-performance composite structures are an important structural form in high-rise and super-high-rise buildings, large venues, bridge structures, as well as ground cover and construction. High-performance composite materials have several advantages, such as high bearing capacity, light weight, and material conservation. With the increasing shortage of urban land, building forms are developing towards large-span and large space. This has led to problems such as increased cross-sectional dimensions of vertical and horizontal components, increased difficulty in processing and manufacturing, and increased construction costs. High-performance composite structures have important practical significance in reducing the cross-sectional dimensions and structural weight of vertical and horizontal components, reducing material consumption, as well as improving construction efficiency and costs, and are in line with the globally advocated strategy of accelerating the construction of a resource-saving and environmentally friendly society.
This Special Issue, entitled “High-Performance Composite Structures: Numerical Simulation, Experimental and Theoretical Studies”, aims to give an overview of the most recent innovations and advances in the field of high-performance composite structures and their applications. Numerical simulation studies, theoretical research, experimental work, case studies and comprehensive review papers are welcome, covering topics including, but not limited to, the following subjects:
- Materials applied in high-performance structures;
- New structural forms of high-performance composite structures;
- Numerical studies on high-performance composite structures;
- Experimental research on high-performance composite structures;
- Theoretical analysis of high-performance composite structures;
- Construction technology of high-performance composite structures;
- Inspection technology of high-performance composite structures;
- Dynamic response of high-performance composite structures;
- Temperature action, wind and rain load, and other environmental impacts;
- Long-term performance of steel and concrete structures;
- Durability of high-performance composite structures;
- Structural safety of high-performance composite 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 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.
