Editorial: Inaugural Issue of the International Journal of Bridge Engineering, Management and Research (IJBEMR)

It is my pleasure to share with you the inaugural issue of the newly established International Journal of Bridge Engineering, Management and Research.  The International Journal of Bridge Engineering, Management and Research (BER) is a fully open access online-only journal. It serves as a forum for the publication of scientific and technical papers related to all aspects of bridge engineering and management, including structural, seismic, hydraulic and geotechnical risk analysis, structural health monitoring, static and dynamic assessments, structural retrofitting, and resiliency enhancement. The journal also publishes research papers on tunnels focusing on the areas mentioned above.  Technical research papers and case studies dealing with innovative technological or computational solutions to bridges and tunnels, as well as experimental methods and novel design and theoretical analysis procedures are strong candidates for publication in the journal.  This inaugural issue features five high quality papers in bridge engineering.  Through this issue, I am also inviting you to register with the journal and submit your research manuscripts to the journal.  We are committed to expedited and thorough peer review and publication of your research.
