Essential reading on the design and construction of civil engineering structures and its associated applied research.
Aims and scope
A building is an enclosed structure, typically with a roof and walls. Buildings provide shelter from weather, as well as security, privacy, and a space to comfortably live and work. Buildings need to be designed to be economic and efficient, and to respond to the current climate emergency through their conception, construction, operation and end of life.

Structures and Buildings publishes peer-reviewed papers on state-of-art academic research, along with best practice in practical construction projects of civil engineering structures (against short-term and long-term static and dynamic (including seismic) loads. This monthly journal welcomes combined experimental and numerical investigations into the behaviour of either structural components and or overall structural systems comprising various combinations of steel, concrete, timber, fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs), bio-based materials, glass and other construction materials.

One of the crucially important topics is the impact of structural engineering on sustainable development. In addition, the emerging technologies, such as AI and big data and their applications in structures, will also be welcomed. Papers on people movement within and around buildings may also be considered.
