ADVANCES IN STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

Advances in Structural Engineering is a peer-reviewed journal that aims to provide a major publication channel for cutting-edge research on civil engineering structures (e.g. bridges, buildings and offshore platforms) in areas of significant current interest to the international structural engineering community. The current focus areas of the journal, which are periodically reviewed by the editors, are as follows:(a) Structural use of composite and other emerging materials;(b) Behavior of structural systems;(c) Structures under extreme conditions (e.g. earthquakes, strong winds, fires and blasts etc.);(d) Performance-based structural engineering;(e) Life-cycle structural engineering;(f) Structural health monitoring for performance assessment; and(g) Sustainability in structural engineering.Notwithstanding these focus areas, papers of significant impact or lasting value in other areas of structural engineering are also welcome.Acceptance of a paper for publication in the journal is subjected to the manuscript being an unpublished work presenting a significant original contribution or an in-depth state-of-the-art review of a specific topic of significant current interest to the journal’s readership. Apart from full-length papers, short technical notes, discussions, and book reviews may also be published.

《结构工程进展》是一本同行评审的期刊，旨在为国际结构工程界当前感兴趣的领域的土木工程结构（如桥梁、建筑物和海上平台）的前沿研究提供主要出版渠道。期刊目前的重点领域由编辑定期审查，具体如下：（a）复合材料和其他新兴材料的结构使用；（b）结构系统的性能；（c）极端条件下的结构（例如地震、强风、火灾和爆炸等）；（d）基于性能的结构工程；（e）生命周期结构工程；（f）绩效评估的结构健康监测；（g）结构工程的可持续性。尽管有这些重点领域，在结构工程的其他领域具有重大影响或持久价值的论文也受到欢迎。接受发表在期刊上的论文取决于手稿是一部未发表的作品，对期刊读者当前感兴趣的特定主题提出了重要的原创贡献或深入的最新评论。除了全文之外，还可以发表简短的技术说明、讨论和书评。
