Research on Performance of Buildings Structures and Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Any building must possess acceptable structural performance to protect human safety, building functions, comfort, and property from various forces acting on the building. This point signifies the great importance of the performance investigations of the building structures. On the other hand, load-bearing structures of buildings are composed of building materials such as wood, concrete, steel, brick, etc. Therefore, the performance of buildings structures is closely related to the performance of the materials used in buildings.

The aim of this Special Issue is to cover research on the performance of building structures and traditional/high-performance/novel materials utilized in buildings under different conditions.

The submission of original research studies, experimental and/or numerical investigations, and review papers that are focused on the performance of buildings’ main structures, structural components, and materials is warmly encouraged.
