buildings and long-span bridges increases. These
13244-1240, USA structures must withstand immense gravity and lateral
loads, making high-capacity structural members crucial.
Composite members, made from multiple materials, offer
exceptional strength, ductility, and toughness, making

analytical/numerical/experimental studies, and
design/applications of high-performance composite
structural members in civil engineering. Topics include
physical, mechanical, and structural properties, behavior
under various loads, and their use in civil infrastructures.
Examples of subject areas that are considered suitable for
this Special Issue include, but are not limited to: Behavior
of composite beams, columns, frames, shear walls, and
other special structural elements; Analysis of double and
multi-skinned composite structural members;
Development of novel composites/composite fabrications;
Rehabilitation, retrofitting, and performance
enhancements of existing composite elements/structures;
Fire and corrosion resistance, etc.

advanced technologies and a digital infrastructure to
improve the outcomes in every aspect of a city’s
operations. A smart building optimizes the experience of
occupants, staff, and management by using a modern and
connected environment. Innovations in technology that
can bring dramatic improvements to design, planning, and
policy are critical in developing the cities and buildings of
the future.
