    Special Issue Information (Call for Papers)

    Marine structures are conventional in design but special in counteracting various environmental loads. Both the superstructure and substructure need special attention in terms of materials, design perspectives, and construction methods. Even retrofitting, and repair is crucial because of the fact that marine structures are most often subjected to repairs while they are in service. Further, it needs advanced tools to inspect and carry out repairs underwater. While the above issues are handled through intelligent interception by the practicing marine engineers, the estimate of design loads including fire load, impact loads, blast loads, ice loads, and additional loads that arise from bio-fouling need a critical revisit.
    Design codes are also mostly silent about the estimate of such loads on marine structures, due to their stochastic nature and randomness. As a result, practicing engineers are not exposed to the recent advancements in estimating such loads and design procedures of marine structures .

    The special issue shall be dedicated to integrating the academic, industrial, and research professionals while helping each other in understanding these critical issues. International Journal of Sustainable Marine Structures invite original contributions from the academia, practicing engineers, and researchers addressing the above concerns.

    The scope of this special issue are (but nott limited to) as follows:

    1. corrosion protection methods, innovative materials (like composites) for marine applications, Special chemical admixtures, and application procedures for repair and retrofitting of marine structures
    2. Repair, retrofitting, and Reliability studies on lifetime prediction of marine structures under special loads that include (but not limited to) fire load, impact loads, blast loads, ice loads, and additional loads that arise from bio-fouling
    3. Repair and rehabilitation of marine structures
    4. Effective construction techniques and project management tools for marine structural engineering
    5. Marine structures for shoreline protection
    6. Foundation for marine structures

    How to Submit your Manuscript?
