Journal of Constructional Steel Research

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Constructional Steel Research provides an international forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest developments in structural steel research and their applications.

It is aimed not only at researchers but also at those likely to be most affected by research results, i.e. designers and fabricators.

Original papers of a high standard dealing with all aspects of steel research including theoretical and experimental research on elements, assemblages, connection and material properties are considered for publication.
