Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Steel structures are fundamental to modern infrastructure and construction, and the utilization of advanced numerical methods, particularly Finite Element Modelling (FEM), has a pivotal role in their design, analysis, and optimization. Symmetry is an important concept in structural engineering, as it allows for more efficient and effective designs. When a structure is symmetric, it means that it has a balanced and uniform distribution of loads and forces, which can help to reduce stress concentrations and improve overall stability. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for sharing recent developments and innovations in the application of FEM to model various steel structural components, advancing the state of knowledge and practice in the field. This Special Issue is dedicated to cutting-edge research, methodologies, and applications related to the Finite Element Modelling of steel structural components. We invite contributions that encompass a wide range of topics, including but not limited to advanced modelling techniques; material characterization; structural assessment of steel members and joints; optimization and design of steel structures and components.

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. Symmetry 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 2400 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.
