The International Journal of Steel Structures provides an international forum for a broad classification of technical papers in steel structural research and its applications. The journal aims to reach not only researchers, but also practicing engineers. Coverage encompasses such topics as 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 and more. International Journal of Steel Structures is the official journal of the Korean Society of Steel Construction (KSSC). The International Journal of Steel Structures is published 6 times a year: February 28, April 30, June 30, August 31, October 31, and December 31, respectively. Covers design, fatigue and stability, reliability and maintenance Includes a wide range of structure types, from ships to stadiums, from aerospace to underground pipelines Benefits practicing engineers as well as researchers Official journal of the Korean Society of Steel Construction (KSSC)
