About the Journal

History

Les Annales du BTP magazine is the heir to Les Annales magazine from ITBTP, created in 1948 at the initiative of professional federations in the sector. The review was then the mode of dissemination of the events organized by the Institute of Building and Public Works. In 1997, after the disengagement of the federations, the review was taken over by ESKA, which set up with the help of SEBTP (publishing house BTP) an editorial committee made up of specialists from very diverse horizons. The members of this committee were among the many engineers and researchers who, with a number of scientific and technical associations, were concerned about the risk of seeing the Annals disappear. At the end of 2002, the SEBTP, dependent on the French Building Federation, abandoned the coordination of the editorial staff.

 

Content

The review presents the main innovations in the construction sector, both in the design and calculation of constructions and their equipment, as well as in construction, maintenance and management. Its originality is to be above all an engineering magazine, seeking to present and explain the latest technical advances without excluding the scientific aspects. For this, the articles can be either presentations of research work carried out in laboratories or technical centers, or presentations of calculation and design methods, or achievements remarkable for their technicality. Articles may come from authors who offer them on their own initiative or at the request of a publisher. The examination plays an important role in the dissemination of new design rules and new construction methods.
