Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites cutting-edge research on high-performance steel and steel-concrete composite structures, with a focus on advancing seismic performance evaluation and performance-based seismic design methods. We aim to address critical challenges in earthquake-resistant design through innovative studies of material behavior, structural response under cyclic loading, and the application of advanced materials, such as stainless steel, in modern infrastructure. Submissions should emphasize the integration of experimental validations, numerical simulations, or hybrid methodologies to bridge theoretical advancements with practical engineering solutions. Contributions may explore constitutive modeling of advanced materials, multi-hazard resilience frameworks, or novel design strategies that balance seismic safety with sustainability goals.
We welcome interdisciplinary approaches that leverage emerging technologies, such as machine learning for performance prediction or sensor-based monitoring for real-time structural assessment. Studies demonstrating field applications of performance-based methodologies or proposing code-compliant design optimizations are particularly encouraged.

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.
