Steel Structure Building Safety: Structural Analysis and Simulation

Dear Colleagues,

Steel structure buildings are widely used in modern buildings because of their light weight, high strength, and recyclability. With the continuous innovation of new steel structure construction technology and the continuous improvement of metal material preparation and processing technology, the integration of their comprehensive performance and structural function is being increasingly perfected. However, this has also caused the safety problems of steel structure buildings to gradually emerge and become the focus of our attention. Therefore, in the design and construction process of steel structure buildings, we must deeply study and explore the best application of materials and their structural design. Thanks to precise analysis and simulation techniques, we are able to accurately determine the optimal configuration of materials and structures at different project stages, thus taking full advantage of their performance and ensuring that the safety and stability of steel structures are significantly improved.

We invite high-quality, cutting edge articles for this Special Issue on “Steel Structure Building Safety: Structural Analysis and Simulation”. The scope of this Special Issue is broad topics including, but not limited to, the following:

• Structural analysis theory and simulation methods of steel structure—the in-depth study of structural analysis theory of steel structure, combined with advanced simulation method, provides strong support for the safety design of steel structure;
• Research on the safety performance of steel structures under extreme conditions—in view of extreme climatic conditions, earthquakes, and other natural disasters, exploring the safety performance of steel structures provides reliable guarantees for practical engineering applications;
• Steel structure safety assessment and monitoring technology—the use of advanced assessment and monitoring technology, real-time monitoring of steel structure safety status, timely discovery, and solution of potential safety hazards;
• Design optimization and safety improvement of steel structure—through the optimization of structural design, improving the bearing capacity and stability of steel structure effectively improves the safety of steel structure;
• Research on new preparation process and properties of steel structure and its materials—exploring new preparation process, studying the performance characteristics of steel structure materials, and providing new possibilities for the development of steel structures;
• Research and development of new materials related to steel structure—active research and development of new materials suitable for steel structures to meet different engineering needs and promote the innovative development of the steel structure industry.
