Submission to first decision

The International Journal of Steel Structures aims to provide an international forum for a broad classification of technical papers in steel structural research and its applications. The journal was launched in 2001, the abbreviated title is “Int J Steel Strut”. The journal aims to reach not only researchers, but also practicing engineers who will most likely benefit from the published research results. Contributions on research findings that are suitable for practical applications are especially welcome. The scope of the International Journal of Steel Structures encompasses, but is not limited to, the following areas: stability, fatigue, non-linear behavior, dynamics, reliability, fire, design codes, computer-aided analysis and design, optimization, expert systems, connections, fabrications, maintenance, bridges, off-shore structures, jetties, stadiums, transmission towers, marine vessels, storage tanks, pressure vessels, aerospace, and pipelines.
The Editorial Boards of the International Journal of Steel Structures (IJOSS) include Chief Editor (two-year term), three Regional Chief Editors (three-year-term), and International Editorial Board Members (two-year term). Guest Editors may be invited to organize IJOSS Special Issues with full authority. The journal aims to contribute to solve or mitigate global and local problems by collecting new ideas and developments from around the world.
