The Journal of Architectural Engineering is a multidisciplinary forum for dissemination of research- based engineering and technical information related to all aspects of building engineering design in the form of peer-reviewed technical papers, technical notes, and case studies. The scope of the journal’s topics include; acoustics, construction, construction management, controls, electrical engineering and systems, indoor environmental quality, lighting and daylighting, mechanical engineering and systems, rehabilitation of existing structures, structural assessment, structural engineering, and sustainable construction/design, in the context of building systems engineering. Innovative and multi-disciplinary studies promoting an integrated approach to planning, design, construction and operation of buildings are especially encouraged. The journal also welcomes papers on the topic of architectural engineering education.

The Journal of Bridge Engineering publishes papers about all aspects of the art and science of bridge engineering. The journal publishes research that advances the practice and profession of bridge engineering and papers about issues, projects, materials, design, fabrication, construction, inspection, evaluation, safety, performance, management, retrofitting, rehabilitation, repair, and demolition.

The Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities attempts to improve the quality of the constructed product through interdisciplinary communication. Papers examine the causes and consequences of failures and other performance problems.

The principal purpose of the Journal is to disseminate information on failures and performance deficiencies of constructed facilities. The term “failures” in this context may mean catastrophic events, but also includes any performance deficiency from which a significant lesson can be learned, such as serviceability problems. Both the technical causes and procedural causes of failures are of interest. Procedural causes include human errors in design, construction, and/or operation that allow the failures to occur.

The Journal welcomes manuscripts that deal with failures, methods of investigation of failures, special techniques for failure investigations, reconstruction and repair, and issues of ethics.

Also of interest are manuscripts on design and construction practices that could lead to or have led to failures. Papers that discuss the interface between various professionals in the construction industry are of special interest. Manuscripts discussing risk management and failure prevention techniques are also encouraged. In addition, manuscripts on monitoring the performance of existing facilities and maintenance of the infrastructure are within the intended scope of the Journal.

The Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction publishes articles about practical solutions to structural design problems and construction challenges of interest to practitioners. Articles may be of any length. Those reporting on small and medium-sized projects will be welcomed. Photographs are desirable; graphs, tables, and lengthy formulas are discouraged. The editors are not interested in what researchers have to say to one another; although articles must be technically sound, the overriding question in the editors' minds when considering a submission is whether the article will be of interest to a significant number of practicing engineers and contractors.

One of the oldest and most respected periodicals in the field, the Journal of Structural Engineering has a history of reporting on fundamental knowledge that advances the state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice in structural engineering. Authors discuss the art and science of structural modeling and design; develop, apply and interpret the results of novel analytical, computational and experimental simulation techniques; propose new structural systems and study the merits of existing ones; pioneer methods for maintenance, rehabilitation and monitoring of existing structures; and investigate the properties of engineering materials as related to structural behavior. Papers making a fundamental contribution in the field of structural engineering at the intersection of structural engineering and other disciplines are welcome.
