Message from the Responsible Director

I am glad to announce publication of Volume 6, No.3 (2019) of Journal of “Structural and Construction Engineering”. Journal of “Structural and Construction Engineering” publishes by Iranian Society of Structural Engineering (ISSE) which is one of the leading institutes in the region. ISSE’s mission is to create an appropriate platform for the purpose of scientific, technical, research, educational communication, and scientific exchanges and competitions between researchers and specialists in structural engineering and related fields, and integration of the activities in the field of structural engineering and construction, the expansion of the frontiers of science and professional and public awareness in MEA region. To do so, ISSE established a leading journal and will publish it four times a year.
Journal of “Structural and Construction Engineering” provides a forum for a broad blend of scientific and technical articles to reflect the evolving needs of the structural engineering and construction communities in the region. The scope of “Structural and Construction Engineering” encompasses, but is not restricted to, the following areas: structural engineering; earthquake engineering; structure-soil interaction; structural fire engineering; blast engineering; structural reliability/stability; life assessment/integrity; structural health monitoring; structural dynamics; experimental modelling; performance-based design, construction management. “Structural and Construction Engineering” also publishes review articles, technical notes, and a diary on national and international events related to any aspect of structural engineering.
“Structural and Construction Engineering” has a continuous open call for papers. Backed by the reputation of the members of its Editorial Board, we will continue to push for excellence in the contents and quality of this journal. From now on, all published articles in JSCE will get Digital Objective Identifier (DOI) which is very important for indexing and etc. In addition, JSCE is an Open Access (OA) journal that is available online to the reader without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. We also are proud to announce that Ministry of Science, Research and Technology of Iran gave grade A to JSCE (similar grade to ISSE) in the last year evaluation.
I wish you enjoy reading this issue of “Structural and Construction Engineering” and I invite you to contribute to the success of this journal by submitting your articles.
