Structural engineering is commonly considered a speciality within civil engineering, but it also includes any discipline which has a structural system. This field includes the analysis, design, plan, and research of structural components and structural systems. IJStructE is set up to report the relevant generic studies in this field.
Topics covered include
- Analytical/design methods
- Blast engineering
- Bridges, tall buildings
- Case studies
- Fire engineering
- Infrastructure engineering
- Innovative structures
- Life assessment/durability
- New construction materials
- Repairs, strengthening, maintenance
- Structure-fluid-soil interaction
- Structural health monitoring, safety, reliability
- Testing technologies
- Vibration, impact/structural dynamics
- Wind/earthquake engineering
Objectives
IJStructE aims to provide an international forum for research in the structural engineering. Particularly welcome are those latest development in the theory, experimental and design method relate to engineering structures such as buildings, bridges, offshore platforms, etc.
Readership
IJStructE provides a vehicle to help professionals, academics, and researchers working in the field of structural engineering, to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work.
Contents
IJStructE publishes original papers, review papers, technical reports, book reviews, commentaries, and news. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three. Special Issues devoted to important topics in structural engineering will be occasionally published.

New Scopus additions and CiteScores for Inderscience journals
13 June, 2023
Scopus has now released its 2022 CiteScores. Inderscience's Editorial Office is pleased to report that many Inderscience journals have improved their CiteScores, particularly the International Journal of Integrated Supply Management, International Journal of Technology Enhanced Learning and International Journal of Structural Engineering. The International Journal of Work Innovation and International Journal of Hydromechatronics have been newly indexed by Scopus and have received their first CiteScores, with the latter title earning a particularly impressive CiteScore of 6.0.
The Editorial Office thanks all of the editors, board members, authors and reviewers who have helped to make these successes possible.
