Focus and Scope

This journal covers a broad spectrum of topics related to structural engineering and sustainable infrastructure. It seeks to explore the intersection of traditional engineering practices with modern sustainability concepts, emphasizing the need for environmentally responsible, economically viable, and socially equitable infrastructure solutions. The journal also encourages research that bridges the gap between engineering, environmental science, policy, and urban planning.

Scope:

  1. Structural Engineering Design and Analysis: Research on the design, analysis, and optimization of structures for safety, performance, and efficiency, including buildings, bridges, dams, and other infrastructure systems.

  2. Sustainable Infrastructure Systems: Studies on the integration of sustainability principles in infrastructure planning, design, and construction, including energy-efficient buildings, green materials, and low-carbon technologies.

  3. Innovative Construction Materials: Research on the development and application of sustainable materials that improve the performance and environmental impact of structural systems, including recycled materials and alternative construction technologies.

  4. Resilience and Disaster Mitigation: Studies on designing structures and infrastructure systems that can withstand natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes, while maintaining sustainability goals.

  5. Environmental Impact Assessment and Management: Research on assessing and managing the environmental impacts of infrastructure projects, with a focus on minimizing carbon footprints, optimizing resource use, and promoting ecological balance.

  6. Infrastructure Management and Maintenance: Studies on the long-term sustainability of infrastructure, including monitoring, maintenance, and refurbishment strategies that extend the lifespan and reduce the lifecycle costs of infrastructure systems.

  7. Smart and Sustainable Cities: Research on the role of structural engineering in creating smart cities, with an emphasis on innovative technologies that support energy efficiency, sustainable mobility, and urban resilience.

  8. Sustainable Urban Planning and Development: Studies on how infrastructure systems can be integrated into urban planning to promote sustainable growth, reduce congestion, and enhance the quality of life for urban residents.

  9. Policy and Regulatory Frameworks: Exploration of the policies, standards, and regulations that govern sustainable infrastructure development, and their impact on the implementation of sustainable engineering solutions.
