Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers, practitioners, and academicians to contribute and disseminate cutting-edge research, advancements, and innovative solutions related to conventional and modular steel structures concerning their behavior, design methods, and stability analysis. It aims to foster a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles, methodologies, and computational techniques used to analyze and design structurally stable and resilient systems.
The scope of this Special Issue encompasses a wide range of topics within the field of the design, behavior, and stability of conventional and modular steel structures, including, but not limited to:
- Stability analysis of steel structures, including buildings, bridges, off-shore platforms, transmission and communication towers, etc.;
- Buckling and post-buckling behavior of thin-walled, cold-formed, stainless, and 3D-printed steel structures and elements;
- Robustness assessment of conventional and modular systems against uncertainties, extreme loading conditions, environmental factors, material degradation, and design flaws;
- New approaches in the design of conventional and modular steel structures, components, and elements with limit-state, performance-based, capacity, or plastic design approaches;
- Experimental and numerical studies in steel structures: understanding complex structural behaviors, validating analytical models, and verifying theoretical approaches;
- Novel steel and composite steel-concrete beams, joints, columns, 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.
