Aims and Scope

Structures and Construction Materials Connect is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal advancing knowledge in construction materials and structural engineering. The journal publishes experimental, analytical, computational, and field-based studies on innovative and sustainable materials, structural behaviour and design, durability, resilience, monitoring, rehabilitation, and emerging construction technologies. Particular emphasis is placed on research that connects material innovation with validated structural performance and practical engineering implementation. The journal thus encourages the submission of cutting-edge original research articles, critical reviews and state-of-the-art papers covering a broad spectrum of related engineering topics, including, but not limited to:

Sustainable and Low-Carbon Construction Materials
Concrete, Cementitious and Alkali-Activated Materials
Steel, Timber, Masonry and Composite Structures
Structural Analysis, Design and Optimisation
Experimental Testing and Structural Validation
Durability and Whole-Life Performance
Structural Reliability, Safety and Resilience
Structural Strengthening, Rehabilitation and Adaptive Reuse
Structural Health Monitoring, Sensing and Digital Twins
AI and Data-Driven Structural Engineering
Additive Manufacturing and Automated Construction
Modular, Prefabricated and Emerging Structural Systems
