Structures is IStructE's leading global research title encouraging academic papers that cover the full breadth of structural engineering.

Launched in 2015, Structures welcomes high-quality research from across the world in the following areas relating to the built environment: structural engineering, structural materials, structural mechanics, behaviour and design of structures, new construction methods, structural innovation and optimisation, response of structures to extreme events, sustainability, structural safety and performance-based design.

The Editors of Structures encourage the submission of high-quality papers that make a significant contribution to structural engineering knowledge, developing new techniques, presenting new applications of existing methods and papers offering wider insights into structural engineering and design. Research presenting a clear pathway to adoption in industry practice is particularly welcome.
