Structural Concrete, the official journal of the fib, provides conceptual and procedural guidance in the field of concrete construction, and features peer-reviewed papers, keynote research and industry news covering all aspects of the design, construction, performance in service and demolition of concrete structures.

The Journal Structural Control and Health Monitoring provides a forum in which survey articles and original research in the field of structural control can be communicated rapidly toward a cross-fertilization of information and ideas. An important aim is not only to achieve a balance between academic material and practical applications, but also to establish an interface between the many topics which characterise the interdisciplinary nature of structural control. The Journal encompasses all aspects of structural control theory and technology. Special attention will be devoted to civil and infrastructure engineering applications, but related fields, such as aerospace and ocean systems, will also be covered. Review articles and original contributions based on analytical, computational and experimental methods are solicited in three main areas: monitoring, control and smart materials and structures. Each area consists of several viewpoints, and it is from a mutual understanding of these that innovations arise, and this Journal pursues those innovations. Health monitoring, health diagnostics and sensor technology are the core of the first area. Passive, active and semiactive control schemes and implementations represent the second and central field. Shape memory alloys, piezoelectrics and mechatronics in general complete the picture. However, actuator design, dynamic systems, dynamic stability, artificial intelligence tools, data acquisition, wireless communications, measurements, MEMs sensors for local damage detection, optical fibre sensors for health monitoring, remote control of monitoring systems, sensor-logger combinations for mobile applications, corrosion sensors, scour indicators and experimental techniques span across the three areas and represent the backbone of the journal. Progress in Structural Engineering and Materials - Review Articles now incorporatedProviding access to key developments across all areas of structural engineering and related construction materials issues, Progress in Structural Engineering and Materials provides the reader with up-to-the minute, authoritative, comprehensive summaries of the most important and significant advances in the field.

Bautechnik ist seit mehr als 85 Jahren eine der fuhrenden technisch-wissenschaftlichen Fachpublikationen fur den gesamten Ingenieurbau. Sie tragt zur Forderung der Kommunikation zwischen Forschung und Praxis sowohl innerhalb des Bauwesens als auch interdisziplinar bei; daruber hinaus hilft sie, die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Bautechnik und Umwelt im weitesten Sinne zu bewerten. Themenuberblick:.

Structural Safety is an international journal devoted to integrated risk assessment for a wide range of constructed facilities such as buildings, bridges, earth structures, offshore facilities, dams, lifelines and nuclear structural systems. Its purpose is to foster communication about risk and reliability among technical disciplines involved in design and construction, and to enhance the use of risk management in the constructed environment. All aspects of quantitative safety assessment are of interest:• Loads and environmental effects;• Material properties;• Prediction of response and performance;• Treatment of human error and engineering judgment;• Quality assurance/control; and• Techniques of decision analysis and risk management.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Structure & Infrastructure Engineering- Maintenance, Management and Life-Cycle Design & Performance is an international journal dedicated to recent advances in maintenance, management and life-cycle performance of a wide range of infrastructures, such as: buildings, bridges, dams, underground constructions, offshore platforms, pipelines, naval vessels, ocean structures, nuclear power plants, airplanes and other types of structures including aerospace and automotive structures. The aim of this journal is to present research and developments on the most advanced technologies for analyzing, predicting and optimizing infrastructure performance. The main gaps to be filled are those between researchers and practitioners in maintenance, management and life-cycle performance of infrastructure systems, and those between professionals working on different types of infrastructures. To this end, the journal will provide a forum for a broad blend of scientific, technical and practical papers. Papers considered for publication are original, high-quality papers that form a significant contribution to the theory or practice of infrastructure engineering, present state-of-the-art work on a topic related to infrastructure, or describe a case study in which theory is applied to a significant infrastructure problem. The scope of the journal encompasses, but is not restricted to, mathematical modelling, computer and experimental methods, practical infrastructure applications in the areas of assessment and evaluation, construction and design for durability, decision making, deterioration modelling and aging, failure analysis, field testing, financial planning, inspection and diagnostics, life-cycle analysis and prediction, loads, maintenance strategies, management systems, non-destructive testing, optimization of maintenance and management, specifications and codes, time- dependent performance, rehabilitation, repair, replacement, reliability and risk management, service life prediction, strengthening and whole life costing. Structure and Infrastructure Engineering is intended for an audience of researchers and practitioners world-wide with a background in civil, aerospace, mechanical, marine and automotive engineering, as well as people working in infrastructure maintenance, management and cost analysis. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.

Structures aims to publish internationally-leading research across the full breadth of structural engineering. Papers for Structures are particularly welcome in which high-quality research will benefit from wide readership of academics and practitioners such that not only high citation rates but also tangible industrial-related pathways to impact are achieved.

Structures seeks papers in areas relating to materials, structural form, structural mechanics, construction engineering, structural innovation, extreme events, sustainability, architectural topics that impact structural performance and other related areas. Structures actively encourages the profound use of electronic media to augment presentation.
