Structure and Infrastructure Engineering - Maintenance, Management, Life-Cycle Design and Performance (SIE) is a subscription-based, peer-reviewed journal covering recent advances in maintenance, management and life-cycle performance of a wide range of infrastructure systems, such as: buildings, bridges, dams, road networks, railways, underground constructions, offshore platforms, pipelines, ocean structures, nuclear power plants, and other types of constructed facilities. SIE’s audience includes researchers and practitioners in maintenance, management and life-cycle performance of infrastructure systems. To this end, the journal welcomes for consideration the following article types, which when received by the Journal will be subject to single anonymous peer review: research paper, review paper, data note, book review, commentary and letter to the Editor. SIE presents research and developments on the most advanced technologies for analysing, predicting and optimizing infrastructure performance. Papers considered for publication are original, high-quality papers that form a significant contribution to the theory or practice of infrastructure engineering, present state-of-the-art work on a topic related to infrastructure, or describe a case study in which theory is applied to a significant infrastructure problem. The scope of SIE encompasses, but is not restricted to: mathematical modelling computer and experimental methods practical infrastructure applications construction and design for durability decision-making deterioration modelling and aging failure analysis field testing inspection and diagnostics life-cycle analysis and prediction loads and multi-hazards climate change impact on infrastructure maintenance strategies management systems non-destructive testing monitoring, optimization of maintenance and management specifications and norms time-dependent performance rehabilitation, repair, replacement probabilistic methods and reliability analysis risk assessment and risk-based optimization service life prediction and life extension mitigation and strengthening resilience, sustainability and whole life costing machine learning infrastructure novel software and technologies in infrastructure engineering Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal.
