Scientific Scope

ASFE 2027 aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration between academia, industry, regulatory bodies,

and design professionals. Contributions are therefore encouraged from a broad range of research

and engineering domains.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Performance-Based Structural Fire Design and Standards;
• Steel, Composite Structures and Connections in Fire;
• Concrete and Masonry Structures in Fire;
• Timber Structures in Fire;
• Glass Structures in Fire;
• Large-Scale Fire Testing;
• AI and Digitalisation in Structural Fire Engineering;
• Sustainability, Resilience and Post-Fire Assessment;

Submissions addressing emerging challenges and future directions of structural and fire engineering

are particularly encouraged.

Originality and Scientific Quality

ASFE 2027 seeks contributions of high scientific and technical quality. Submitted manuscripts should clearly demonstrate originality, scientific rigor, and relevance to the conference themes.

Authors should ensure that their work:

• Presents original research or innovative engineering applications;
• Clearly identifies the scientific or technical problem being addressed;
• Demonstrates an appropriate methodology and analytical framework;
• Provides a critical interpretation of results;
• Places findings within the context of existing literature and current state of knowledge;
• Clearly explains the contribution and significance of the work.

Manuscript Preparation

To ensure a uniform appearance of the conference proceedings and facilitate the review process, all manuscripts must be prepared using the official ASFE 2027 template.

Preferred Format

The Scientific Committee strongly recommends the use of the official LaTeX template, which serves

as the reference publication format for the conference proceedings. LaTeX provides superior handling

of mathematical notation, references, figures, and complex document structures and is widely used within

the international scientific community.

For authors who prefer alternative document preparation systems, an official Microsoft Word template

is also available.

Structure of the Manuscript

Authors are encouraged to organize their papers according to accepted scientific practice.

A typical manuscript should include:

• Title
• Author names and affiliations
• Abstract
• Keywords
• Introduction
• Methodology
• Results
• Discussion
• Conclusions
• Acknowledgements (optional)
• References

Submission system

Full papers must be submitted through the ASFE Open Journal System (OJS) submission platform:

Publication and Presentation

Accepted papers will be published in the official ASFE 2027 Conference Proceedings following successful completion of the review process and submission of the final manuscript.

Authors will have the opportunity to present their work either as an oral presentation or as part of the poster session. During submission, authors may indicate their preferred presentation format (oral or poster). The final allocation will be made by the Organizing Committee based on the review process and the overall conference programme.

At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register for the conference and present the work during the conference programme. The Organizing Committee reserves the right to exclude papers from

the final proceedings if no registered presenting author is available.
