Description:
Engineering Structures provides a forum for a broad blend of scientific and technical papers to reflect the evolving needs of
the
structural engineering and
structural mechanics communities. Particularly welcome are contributions dealing with applications
of structural engineering and mechanics principles in all areas of
technology. The journal aspires to a broad and integrated coverage
of the effects of
dynamic loadings and of the modelling techniques whereby the
structural response to these loadings may
be computed.
The scope of
Engineering Structures encompasses, but is not restricted to, the following areas: infrastructure
engineering; earthquake engineering; structure-fluid-soil interaction; wind engineering; fire engineering; blast engineering; structural
reliability/stability; life assessment/integrity; structural health monitoring; multi-hazard engineering; structural dynamics; optimization;
expert systems; experimental modelling; performance-based design; multiscale analysis; value engineering.
Topics of interest include:
tall buildings; innovative structures; environmentally responsive structures; bridges; stadiums; commercial and public buildings; transmission
towers; television and telecommunication masts; cooling towers; plates and shells; suspension structures, smart structures; nuclear reactors;
dams; pressure vessels; pipelines; tunnels.
Engineering Structures also publishes review articles, short communications
and discussions, book reviews, and a diary on international events related to any aspect of structural engineering.
