Dear Colleagues,

Steel–concrete composite structures are widely used in composite construction, owing to their improved structural performance, such as higher load-bearing capacity, higher ductility, and improved fire and seismic performance. This special issue of CivilEng deals with the recent innovations and progress in the research and practice of steel–concrete composite structures. The scope of this Special Issue covers topics related, but not limited, to the performance analysis and design of steel–concrete composite beams, columns, and slabs; connections subjected to various loading conditions, such as axial loading, eccentric loading, and dynamic loading (fire, blast, impact, robustness); and case studies. Both original and state-of-the-art reviews on topics related to steel–concrete composite structures are considered for publication in this Special Issue

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. CivilEng is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
