Special Issue on "Failure Investigation and Forensics of Steel, Concrete and Geo-Composite Structure"

Special Issue on "Failure Investigation and Forensics of Steel, Concrete and Geo-Composite Structures" Submissions were invited from the US, Korea, Chile, Türkiye, Columbia and Iran for the special issue (Part I & Part II) of Steel and Composite Structures: An International Journal, focusing on both the traditional and forensic engineering of steel, concrete, and geo-composite structures. This issue aims to highlight the latest advancements in research techniques for understanding the performance and failure mechanisms of the steel, concrete, and geo-composite structures. Experimental, numerical, and analytical methods have been the cornerstone of research in this field, which need to be kept advanced. Further, there is a growing interest in innovative approaches such as forensic monitoring, non-destructive testing, and data-driven techniques. The special issue seeks to provide the state-of-the-art methods on traditional cornerstone research and emerging technologies, with an emphasis on forensic research. Finally, the special issue attempts to present a platform for sharing both computational and experimental solutions in structural and geotechnical engineering. We hope that the special issue (Part I & Part II) will promote the practice of forensic engineering in the field of steel, concrete, and geo-composite structures.
