Design Theory of Steel-Concrete Composite Structure and Construction Technology of Complex Structure

Dear Colleagues,

Steel–concrete composite structures combining the advantages of steel and concrete materials provide an economical and efficient structure form for buildings, bridges, and other civil engineerings.

In this Special Issue, submissions regarding the up-to-date developments and applications of steel-concrete composite structures on theoretical analysis, experimental study, and construction technology are welcome. The scope encompasses, but is not restricted to, structural load-carrying performance, dynamic behavior, fire performance, numerical analysis, interface bond behavior, design method, high-performance materials, structural health monitoring, and construction technology of steel–concrete composite structures.

This Special Issue wishes to complement theoretical developments and rich construction technology, so as to promote the application of steel–concrete structures in practice engineerings. Therefore, we particularly welcome the relevant contributions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
