Development of Steel-Concrete Composite Structures in Buildings

Dear Colleagues,

Development of Steel-Concrete Composite Structures Special Issue delivers an international opportunity for the demonstration and discussion of the up-to-date progresses in structural steel, space and composite structures research and their uses. It is intended not only at researchers but also at those prospective to be most affected by research results like, designers and fabricators. Original papers of a high standard dealing with all aspects of steel research including: design and analysis, building and space structures, steel-framed houses, fatigue and fracture, earthquake and dynamics, cold-formed steel structures, beams and columns, connections, fabrication and construction, steel technologies and materials, information technology, steel-concrete composite structures, tubular structures, structural health monitoring, steel-FRP composite structural systems.

Those giving research discoveries in a practice suitable for applied use are particularly welcome. Papers reporting work in progress will also be comprised, provided the continuing applied allegations of the research are apparent, as will state-of-the-art papers, or those by designers and fabricators dealing with subjects bearing directly on research.
