Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Concrete and composite structures are two kinds of traditional structures that have been widely used in engineering practice. Today, the properties of materials, members and structures can be studied more comprehensively, deeply and systematically with the progress of modern research means. Simultaneously, with the emergence and development of new materials, such as sustainable concrete, UHPC, high-strength steel and FRP, an increasing number of novel members and structures with higher performance and better environmental friendliness are emerging.
It is our pleasure to announce this Special Issue of Buildings, which will focus on the current progress of concrete and composite structures. The objective of this Special Issue is to solicit articles related to the material development, structural performance and applications of concrete or composite structures. We hope to present the latest and most up-to-date research findings in this field.
Interested authors can submit their manuscript—full papers, communications, case studies and reviews—with a focus on the research and applications of concrete or composite structures, including (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Mechanisms, durability and microstructures of steel and concrete materials;
- Architecture design;
- Behaviours of novel concrete or composite members;
- Concrete or composite structures under extreme loading conditions, such as seismic, fire, impact and blast;
- Damage evaluation and rehabilitation of concrete or composite members/structures;
- Field monitoring and case studies.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
