Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Magazine of Concrete Research is published by ICE Publishing Ltd. and is in Zone 4 of Engineering in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Structural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete, Concrete and Cement Materials Research and Innovative concrete reinforcement materials, together about 42.7% of its articles. Its main subfields are Civil and Structural Engineering and Building and Construction. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
For concrete and other cementitious derivatives to be developed further, we need to understand the use of alternative hydraulically active materials used in combination with plain Portland Cement, sustainability and durability issues. Both fundamental and best practice issues need to be addressed. Magazine of Concrete Research covers every aspect of concrete manufacture and behaviour from performance and evaluation of constituent materials to mix design, testing, durability, structural analysis and composite construction.
