Aims and scope
Journal of Infrastructure Preservation and Resilience (JIPR) provides a cross-disciplinary forum for researchers to disseminate innovative research and engineering practices that preserve the integrity, performance, and resilience of existing infrastructure systems amid diverse climatic conditions, man-made and natural hazards, and other risks. Planning, design, construction, operations, inspection, monitoring, evaluation, retrofitting and reinforcing of infrastructure system (roads, bridges, tunnels, buildings, airports, ports, pipelines, etc.) are in scope with the journal. The journal aims to facilitate the dialog and collaboration between infrastructure engineering community and resilience and risk management community.
Topics of interest may include the following:
- Preservation and monitoring against foundational risks of infrastructures (e.g. bridge scour and slope instability)
- Preservation and rehabilitation against infrastructure materials-related distresses (corrosion, freeze/thaw damage, alkali-aggregate reactions, cracking, rutting, aging, moisture damage, etc.)
- Infrastructure system response and resilience (e.g. adaptation to disasters, climate change and extreme weather)
- Decision support and management (e.g. data modelling and resilience assessment, life cycle cost analysis, risk assessment, life cycle assessment, characterization/modelling of interdependencies), etc.
- Transportation geotechnics and geoecology
- Remote sensing, online monitoring, and non-destructive evaluation of infrastructures
Featured Article:
Maintaining critical infrastructure resilience to natural hazards during the COVID-19 pandemic: hurricane preparations by US energy companies
Researchers from RAND Corporation & PJM have published an original research article which outlines ways in which critical infrastructure utilities adapt and respond to major disturbances, in this case, the Covid-19 pandemic.
Using PJM as a case example, a regional transmission operator for electrical utilities, the article details the implications and importance in maintaining or improving the resilience of critical infrastructure systems to natural hazards. Such actions will protect against catastrophic failure of the systems during times of exceptional disruption, which the Covid-19 pandemic has been an extraordinary example.

An Interview with the Editor
"JIPR aims to become the flagship journal in the field of infrastructure preservation and resilience (IPR), providing a cross-disciplinary forum for researchers to disseminate innovative research and engineering practices that preserve the integrity, performance, and resilience of infrastructure systems."
- Xianming Shi, Washington State University, USA
Read the full interview here, where Editor Shi goes into detail regarding his educational and professional background, the inspiration and reasoning to launch this cross-disciplinary scholarly discussion platform, and the long term goals for the journal.
COVID-19 and impact on peer review
As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.
