Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities (JPCF)

The Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities is a bimonthly, peer-reviewed research journal published by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) that has served the civil engineering community since 1987. It provides a specialized forum for high-quality research on the performance, failures, and post-failure behavior of built infrastructure and facilities, helping professionals and academics understand why structures or systems perform poorly or fail, and how to improve design, construction, and maintenance practices. Topics include failure investigation methodology, forensic analysis, construction and procedural errors, reconstruction and repair techniques, lessons from catastrophic and non-catastrophic performance deficiencies, risk and reliability issues, and ethics in engineering practice. The journal emphasizes interdisciplinary communication among design engineers, construction professionals, researchers, and forensic investigators. Articles include detailed case studies of performance problems (from serviceability issues to catastrophic failures), technical analyses of causes and effects, and practical strategies for improving infrastructure durability and reliability. Indexed in major databases such as Science Citation Index Expanded, Scopus, Ei Compendex, and Inspec, it supports evidence-based improvements in construction practice and risk mitigation. The journal’s long history and rigorous peer review make it a respected resource for those focused on constructive lessons from engineering failures and performance evaluations.
