Aims and Scope

System Technologies is a peer-reviewed open-access scholarly journal that publishes original results of fundamental and applied research in civil engineering, construction sciences, and architecture.

The journal aims to disseminate reliable scientific knowledge and to advance the theory and practice of the design, construction, operation, renovation, and modernisation of buildings, structures, and engineering infrastructure. The journal publishes research of scientific novelty, theoretical value, and practical relevance.

The journal is intended for researchers, academics, doctoral students, engineers, architects, and specialists working in design, construction, manufacturing, and public-sector organisations related to the built environment and engineering infrastructure.

The journal considers original research articles, review articles, and analytical papers that fall within its scope and have passed editorial screening and peer review.

Main Subject Areas

• Hydraulic engineering, hydraulic structures, hydraulics, engineering hydrology, water-management systems, and protection of territories against hazardous hydrological processes.
• Structural engineering, buildings and structures; design, analysis, testing, monitoring, reliability, durability, strengthening, renovation, and rehabilitation of structural systems.
• Reinforced-concrete, steel, masonry, timber, polymer, and composite structures; structural solutions based on innovative and recycled materials.
• Structural mechanics, theory of structures, strength, stability, structural dynamics, crack resistance, and deformability of building systems; analytical, numerical, and experimental methods, including finite-element modelling.
• Geotechnical engineering, foundations, underground structures, engineering-geological investigations, soil–structure interaction, and underground construction technologies.
• Construction materials and products; concrete, mortars, binders, ceramic, polymeric, composite, and thermal-insulation materials; admixtures and modifiers, durability, manufacturing technologies, resource efficiency, and the use of recycled materials.
• Construction technology and management, construction production, management of investment and construction projects, quality control, occupational health and safety, digitalisation of construction processes, and building information modelling.
• Heating, gas supply, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, energy efficiency, energy conservation, and building-services engineering.
• Water supply, wastewater disposal, sewerage, treatment of natural and wastewater, construction-related systems for water-resource protection, and environmental safety of engineering infrastructure.
• Architecture of buildings and structures, architectural design, creative concepts in architectural practice, and the development of comfortable, safe, accessible, and sustainable built environments.
• Theory and history of architecture, conservation, renovation, adaptive reuse of architectural heritage, and preservation of cultural-heritage sites.
• Urban planning, spatial planning, planning of urban and rural settlements, development of urban infrastructure, landscaping, and sustainable living environments.

The Editorial Board welcomes interdisciplinary research at the intersection of construction sciences, architecture, materials science, environmental safety, digital technologies, and the management of construction systems, provided that such research is consistent with the journal’s scope and presents original scholarly results.

Submitted manuscripts must correspond to the journal’s scope and meet requirements for scientific novelty, methodological rigour, reliability and reproducibility of results, publication ethics, and manuscript preparation.

The journal does not consider manuscripts that lack an original scholarly contribution, fall outside its scope, or fail to meet requirements for quality and research integrity.
