Sustainable Structures

Aims & Scope

Sustainable Structures (SUST; Sustain.

Struct.) is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of science and technology concerned with sustainable structures.

SUST has been accepted for Scopus (Citescore 7.5, 2022, Q1 in Scopus), DOAJ, Crossref and so on.

The scope of the journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research as well as the sustainable applications in the areas of structural engineering.

Journal publications include mainly as following: Reviews, Research Papers, Technical notes, Meeting Reports, and Case Reports.

With publication fees supported by Sustainable Development Press Limited (SDPL), SUST is an open access but free international journal focusing on the study of sustainable development structures.

The purpose of the journal is to provide a platform for academic exchange, to promote the research of green, low-carbon and sustainable development of structural engineering, and to serve the construction of a better home for mankind.
