What are best sites for paper publication for civil engineering?

Please suggest some good "Scopus" Journals with No charge, No template and fast publication for Civil Engineering.

Scopus journals required.

To my understanding an interface is added to simulate the interaction between the soil and structure. I am trying to figure out the difference between creating a positive or negative interface. what does the positive and negative part signifies?

I have uploaded my manuscript in various journals. After getting an acceptance letter, they are asking a huge sum as Article Processing Charge. Please suggest me best unpaid no Apc journals in civil engineering

About two years ago, I have submitted a manuscript to a reputed journal. After a couple of months of the peer review process, the response was “major revision has been requested”. I made the necessary adjustments and resubmitted it again. The Journal's editor responded that my manuscript requires minor revision. Well, the decision was <<"Revise for Editor Only'' he claimed that revision should be quick and it will not undergo the entire review process>>. Again, I made the required edits in order to make the manuscript acceptable for publication. Afterward, I resubmitted it. It is the day 120 and the status is "With Editor". In fact, I did send two emails to the editorial team to update the status. Their response to both emails was the same, saying that they contacted the editor to accelerate the process.

Dear readers, I need to have a piece of advice: what to do as a next step?

Thank you in advance,

I have modeled a prestressed concrete beam in ABAQUS using following element type:

Concrete- C3D8R, Steel Strand- T3D2.

I have considered elastic and plastic behavior of both steel and concrete(CDP). While comparing load-deflection curve from both experiment and FEA, it has given me pretty much accurate value for ultimate load. However, the elastic response of the structure is much more stiffer from experiment data. I have already updated the FE model based on constructed specimen such as diameter of steel bar and prestress strand, concrete strength. What could be the problem?

Dear RG Members,

I’m currently working on extracting data of multiple .rst/.rth files, which are having same mesh and same node numbering, using PyANSYS/PyMAPDL. The end target is to use this data for LCF/Creep/Creep-fatigue/fracture calculations. Currently this data extraction is done manually, we want to automate this process.

The elements I am using is plane77 (with axisymmetric option) for thermal analysis and plane 183 (axisymmetric) for structural analysis (in ANSYS).

Please look at the figure attached.

I want to provide path for all my rth/rst files and respective load/substep numbers for which I want to extract data. On pressing confirm a popup will ask for node number and desired data (temperature/stress/strain/creep strain) for that node number should be there in the output column from all these files (that's the wish). First row data (temperature from a rth file for steady state thermal run) I was able to extract. Got stuck in the second row where I want von Mieses stress from a steady state structural run.

However, when I attempt to parse the result sets using result.parse_step_substep(), I receive only integer indices representing the result sets, rather than a tuple containing the actual load step and substep numbers. For example, my .rst file shows 3 result sets, but the step info returned is simply 0, 1, and 2, without any clear mapping to the original load step and substep numbers from the simulation. Is there a current method within PyMAPDL to directly retrieve data based on specific load step and substep numbers (e.g., Load Step 3, Substep 5), rather than relying on the result set indices?

Thank you for your help and support in advance.

What are the benefits of using cast-in-place concrete floors in industrial, commercial, and residential applications? How do they withstand heavy loads and different environmental conditions?

Could you suggest any journal where i can publish my first review paper easily
