Aims & Scope

Steel Construction publishes peerreviewed papers covering the entire field of steel construction research. In the interests of "construction without depletion", it skilfully combines steel with other forms of construction employing concrete, glass, cables and membranes to form integrated steelwork systems. Since 2010 Steel Construction is the official journal for ECCS- European Convention for Constructional Steelwork members. You will find more information about membership on the ECCS homepage. Topics include: -Design and construction of structures -Methods of analysis and calculation -Experimental and theoretical research projects and results -Composite construction -Steel buildings and bridges -Cable and membrane structures -Structural glazing -Masts and towers -Vessels, cranes and hydraulic engineering structures -Fire protection -Lightweight structures
