Publisher Multi-Science Publishing, UK, has announced a partnership with the International Association for Bridge & Structural Engineering (IABSE). Under the deal, Multi-Science Publishing will promote IABSE's publications. Alongside its own journals and books, Multi-Science will also market and sell IABSE's publications.

Formerly, Multi-Science has only published its own copyrighted material. According to the publisher, IABSE's output is first rate content, and as its subject matter complements much of what it publishes, there is a strong case for working together. Multi-Science hopes to bring the Association’s publications to an audience far broader than its own membership.

Founded in 1929, the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering is a scientific / technical Association with 3'900 members in 100 countries, counting 48 National Groups worldwide. IABSE deals with all aspects of structural engineering: the science and art of planning, design, construction, operation, monitoring and inspection, maintenance, rehabilitation and preservation, demolition and dismantling of structures, taking into consideration technical, economic, environmental, aesthetic and social aspects.
