Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The seismic design and ductility evaluation of concrete-filled thin-walled steel tubular (CFT) columns are crucial in ensuring the structural integrity and resilience of buildings and infrastructure under seismic loading. Steel provides strength and stiffness, while concrete enhances the ductility and confinement of the steel tube, preventing local buckling and enhancing ductility. This interaction enhances the overall strength and ductility of the column, allowing it to resist seismic forces more effectively. This Special Issue may consider optimizing the cross-sectional shape and dimensions of the CFT column to achieve the desired strength, stiffness, and ductility. Consideration of the seismic design may include factors such as the concrete strength, cover thickness, and reinforcement detailing. The seismic design must account for buckling effects and the interaction of local/global instability modes to ensure that the steel tube has sufficient thickness and cross-sectional properties to withstand the axial and bending loads induced by seismic forces.
Here is an overview of the key considerations for this Special Issue:
material properties; seismic design criteria; composite action; cross-sectional shape and dimensions; concrete core design; steel tube design; ductility evaluation, detailing and reinforcement; performance-based design; and experimental validation.
By integrating these considerations into the seismic design and ductility evaluation of concrete-filled thin-walled steel tubular columns, engineers can enhance the structural resilience and seismic performance of buildings and infrastructure in earthquake-prone regions.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
