Scope

• Infrastructure engineering, earthquake engineering and structural dynamics are core areas, with wind, fire and blast engineering treated alongside them基础设施工程、地震工程与结构动力学是核心方向，风工程、火灾工程与爆炸工程与之并列。
• Structure-fluid-soil interaction, structural reliability and stability, and life assessment or integrity are explicit parts of the scope结构、流体与土体相互作用，结构可靠性与稳定性，以及寿命评估与完整性，均属明确范围。
• Structural health monitoring, multi-hazard engineering and performance-based design are covered as emerging priorities of the field结构健康监测、多灾害工程与基于性能的设计作为该领域的新兴重点得到覆盖。
• Structural optimisation, digital design methods, data-driven analysis and additive manufacturing or modular construction are within scope结构优化、数字化设计方法、数据驱动分析以及增材制造或模块化建造属于收稿范围。
• All classes of structural material are considered, including steel, reinforced and fibre-reinforced concrete, composites, masonry, glass, wood and smart or bio-inspired materials各类结构材料均在考虑之列，包括钢材、钢筋混凝土与纤维增强混凝土、复合材料、砌体、玻璃、木材以及智能或仿生材料。
• Structure types of interest range from tall buildings, bridges, stadiums and towers to cooling towers, wind power structures, dams, pressure vessels, pipelines and tunnels关注的结构类型从高层建筑、桥梁、体育场与塔架，到冷却塔、风力发电结构、水坝、压力容器、管道与隧道。
• Review articles require a prior proposal to the regional editors-in-chief, and case studies or multi-part papers are generally not accepted综述文章须先向所属地区主编提交选题建议，案例研究与多部分论文一般不予接受。

History

• The journal began publication in 1978 in Sussex, England, under IPC Science and Technology Press, before Elsevier took over the title该刊 1978 年在英格兰萨塞克斯由（IPC Science and Technology Press）创刊，其后转由（Elsevier）出版。
• Its founding editor was Phillip L. Gould of Washington University in St Louis, who established the journal's blend of analysis, design and experiment创刊主编为（Washington University in St Louis）的（Phillip L. Gould），他确立了该刊分析、设计与实验并重的取向。
• It is now issued 24 times a year, reflecting the growth of structural engineering research worldwide该刊现每年出版 24 期，反映全球结构工程研究的增长。
• Its scope has broadened from structural mechanics toward digital design, data-driven analysis and multi-hazard engineering其范围已从结构力学扩展到数字化设计、数据驱动分析与多灾害工程。
• The Journal Impact Factor was 4.471 in 2021 and 5.582 in 2022, then 6.4 in 2024 and 7.6 in 2025该刊影响因子 2021 年为 4.471，2022 年为 5.582，2024 年为 6.4，2025 年为 7.6。
• It is indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded, Scopus and Ei Compendex, and publication follows a hybrid model with an open-access charge for authors who choose it该刊被（SCIE）、（Scopus）与（Ei Compendex）收录，采用混合出版模式，选择开放获取的作者需支付相应费用。

Editors

• J. Yang of RMIT University is lead editor-in-chief, supported by editors-in-chief B. A. Izzuddin of Imperial College London, C. T. Ng of the University of Adelaide and James M. Ricles of Lehigh University（RMIT University）的（J. Yang）任首席主编，另有三位主编：（Imperial College London）的（B. A. Izzuddin）、（University of Adelaide）的（C. T. Ng）与（Lehigh University）的（James M. Ricles）。
• P. Feng of Tsinghua University serves as special editor, and the associate editors include H. Yang of Harbin Institute of Technology and S. M. J. Spence of the University of Michigan（Tsinghua University）的（P. Feng）任特约编辑，副主编包括（Harbin Institute of Technology）的（H. Yang）与（University of Michigan）的（S. M. J. Spence）。
• The board has 123 members in 25 countries, led by the United States with 23, China with 20 and Australia with 16编委会由 25 个国家的 123 位成员组成，其中美国 23 位、中国 20 位、澳大利亚 16 位，居前三位。
• An early career board of younger researchers supports the editorial team, and Phillip L. Gould remains listed as founding editor该刊设有青年编委会协助编辑工作，（Phillip L. Gould）仍以创刊主编身份列名。
• The journal lists Sritawat Kitipornchai and Herbert Mang as honorary editors, alongside the sitting board该刊在现任编委会之外，将（Sritawat Kitipornchai）与（Herbert Mang）列为荣誉编辑。
• Submissions go through Elsevier's editorial system, and the journal asks authors to contribute to the review of others' work when requested投稿通过（Elsevier）编辑系统完成，该刊要求作者在被邀请时参与他人稿件的评审。
