This Special Issue of Structures contains updated and extended versions of a selected collection of papers presented at the Mini-Symposium on 'Steel Structures: Mechanics, Simulation and Testing', held within the 9th European Solid Mechanics Conference (ESMC), Madrid, 6-10 July 2015. The papers cover a wealth of topics concerning the behaviour and design of steel (hot-rolled, cold-formed and stainless) and composite structural systems. Without claiming to be exhaustive, one can find two papers dealing with theoretical formulations, including computational implementations and experimental validations, to analyse the effect of cross-section in-plane deformation on the linear, buckling, post-buckling and interactive buckling of steel columns (Liu and Wadee) and composite girders (Taig et al.).
