Open Topical Collections

Journal of Infrastructure Preservation and Resilience welcomes collections on articles relating to the discussion of cross-disciplinary and innovative research and engineering practices that preserve the integrity, performance, and resilience of existing infrastructure systems. The journal enthusiastically invites authors to submit their applicable work to our collections which have an ongoing call for papers.

Collections with ongoing calls for papers are listed below:

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 dialogue 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): robustness and post-hazard recovery, resource allocation, and social technical or system-oriented aspect of resilience
  • Decision support and asset management (e.g., data modelling and resilience assessment, risk assessment, life cycle assessment, life cycle cost analysis, characterization/modelling of interdependencies), etc.
  • Remote sensing, online monitoring, and non-destructive evaluation of infrastructures
  • Structural reliability
  • Transportation geotechnics and geoecology

Coastal green infrastructure to mitigate coastal squeeze

Coastal green infrastructure (CGI) includes natural, semi-natural or artificial strategies that simultaneously solve ecological and socioeconomic challenges, such as coastal squeeze. In this paper, four types of CGI are described, categorized by their degree of naturalness. Key concepts, challenges, and practices for the management of coastal squeeze, as seen in CGI projects worldwide, are also outlined.

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.
