Frontiers in Built Environment publishes its first eBook

We are very proud to announce the publication of Frontiers in Built Environment‘s first eBook: “Critical Earthquake Response of Elastic-Plastic Structures Under Near-Fault or Long-Duration Ground Motions: Closed-Form Approach via Impulse Input” which can be accessed and freely downloaded here: fron.tiers.in/go/J3u5ts Containing four original research papers, in addition to the Specialty Grand Challenge article, on the critical earthquake response of elastic-plastic structures under near-fault or long-duration ground motions, this eBook represents the culmination of outstanding recent research by Specialty and Field Chief Editor, Prof. Izuru Takewaki. Those who avail of the opportunity to host a Research Topic in Frontiers in Built Environment can also benefit by collating their curated collection of papers in a free eBook upon successful closing of their Topic. — Launched in February 2015, Frontiers in Built Environment is already establishing a solid reputation and setting a standard for high-quality, open-access publishing in a number of sections in the built environment field. Specialty sections currently open for submission include: Bridge Engineering Digital Architecture Earthquake Engineering Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning Hydrosphere Structural Materials Structural Sensing Sustainable Design and Construction Wind Engineering and Science We will also soon be launching the following specialty sections: Urban Science Transportation and Transit Systems […]

New specialty section “Structural Sensing” now open for submissions!

We are pleased to announce the launch of the latest specialty section for Frontiers in Built Environment, Structural Sensing. Led by Specialty Chief Editor Prof Ian F. C. Smith of ÉPFL, Switzerland, and the Future Cities Laboratory (FCL), Singapore, the editorial board is also presently composed of the following Associate Editors: Emin Ahmet Aktan (Drexel University, USA) Nizar Bel Hadj Ali (Ecole Nationale d’Ingénieurs de Gabes, Tunisia) James Mark William Brownjohn (University of Exeter, UK) Fikret Necati Catbas (University of Central Florida, USA) Eleni N. Chatzi (ETH Zürich, Switzerland) Bernd Domer (Hepia, Switzerland) Branko Glisic (Princeton University, USA) C.G. Koh (National University of Singapore, Singapore) Babak Moaveni (Tufts University, USA) Franklin L. Moon (Drexel University, USA) Hae Young Noh (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) Shamim Pakzad (Lehigh University, USA) Costas Papadimitriou (University of Thessaly, Greece) Benny Raphael (IIT Madras, India) Landolf Rhode-Barbarigos (University of Miami, USA) Andrew Smyth (Columbia University, USA) Scope: Trends of increasing availability of sensors with near infinite and inexpensive data-storage possibilities have created new opportunities for structural engineers. These trends have been reinforced by developments in optical-fiber technology that provides signal stability over long periods of time. Furthermore, wireless and energy-harvesting technologies have the potential to greatly facilitate many installation challenges. Structural engineers currently need such […]

New specialty section “Sustainable Design and Construction” now open for submissions

Frontiers in Built Environment is very happy to announce the launch of the journal’s latest section – “Sustainable Design and Construction“, under the stewardship of Specialty Chief Editor, Prof Nyuk Hien WONG (National University of Singapore), pictured. This specialty section will be dedicated to publishing new and important findings in the field of sustainable design and construction; to provide a platform for academia and industry practitioners to share their latest research and practices in the field. While the principal focus will be on buildings, papers and topics of interest can also cover the urban and infrastructure environment. For more information on the section and the Editorial Board, click here. Submissions are welcome on any of the following topics: • Advanced Green Building Systems, Construction Technologies and Materials • Passive Green Building Design and Construction • Zero Energy and Zero Carbon Building Design and Construction • Use of Renewable Energy sources for Building Design and Construction • Smart Building Design and Construction • Smart, Sustainable and Resilient Urban Planning and Cities • Sustainable Design and Construction for Comfort, Health and Well-being • Advanced Modeling Techniques for Green Building and Urban Environment Frontiers in Built Environment is part of Frontiers open-science platform and research network, and one of our newest journals, having launched in […]
