Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers, professionals and academics to use for the purpose of disseminating their latest research, breakthroughs and innovative solutions related to steel structures, as well as their performance and design. Our aim is to promote a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles, methodologies, computational techniques and experimental evidence used to analyse, evaluate and design structurally stable and resilient structural systems.
The scope of this Special Issue covers a wide range of topics in the field of performance and design of steel structures. These include, but are not limited to:
- Structural analysis of buildings steel structures, including traditional, innovative solutions and modular structures, etc.;
- The behaviour of thin-walled, cold-formed and 3D-printed steel structures and elements;
- Assessment of the robustness of structural systems in relation to uncertainties, such as extreme loading conditions, environmental factors, seismic risk, material degradation and design errors, etc.;
- New approaches in the design of steel structures, components and elements with limit state approaches based on performance, capacity or plastic design;
- Experimental and numerical studies on steel structures, understanding complex structural behaviours, validating analytical models and verifying theoretical approaches;
- New types of steel and composite steel–concrete elements, including beams, columns, joints and built-up sections.

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 monthly 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.
