Structural Concrete, journal of the fib, is seeking original papers of the highest quality for publication. Papers will cover all aspects of the design, construction, performance in service, strengthening and demolition of concrete structures, including papers on research into the behaviour of structures and into the development of design methods. All papers will be subjected to a rigorous peer review process prior to acceptance for publication; the current average submission-to-acceptance time is 100 days. Since 2009, Structural Concrete is indexed in Thomson Reuter’s ISI Web of Science with an Impact Factor of 0.270.
