《工业建筑》1964年创刊，是一本综合性建筑科学类科技期刊，报道内容涵盖了土木建筑领域的主要学科，包括建筑学、建筑结构、岩土工程、建筑材料、建筑施工五大专业。其办刊方针是：注意现代化工业建筑建设中先进技术的应用，兼顾考虑工业与民用建筑的普遍性；重视当前建设中重大实际问题，兼顾建筑科技中具有方向性的理论创新问题。并优先报道国家或省部级科学基金资助项目和重大工程建设项目。在选题、组稿、稿件录用标准方面，一直坚持“四性”统一的质量标准：即指导性、针对性、实用性、创新性。
《工业建筑》力求能在建筑技术方针政策和技术发展趋向上具有指导性，为生产建设中重大技术问题的解决提供帮助，促进技术进步。
《工业建筑》多年来一直是中国建筑科学类核心期刊，所载论文被国内外著名数据库收录：CSCD、CSTDB、EI、ICONDA、中国期刊数据库、中国冶金文摘数据库、中国科技论文统计等等。创刊40多年来获得的荣誉和奖励有：连续18年冶金部科技期刊评比第一名；北京市全优期刊；全国优秀科技期刊一等奖；2000年荣获首届“中国期刊奖”（金奖），2003年再获第二届“中国期刊奖提名奖”（奖）；2002年被国家新闻出版总署评为“高知名度、高学术水平”期刊。
Introduction to Industrial Construction
Industrial Construction started publication in 1964, which was a comprehensive academic periodical in civil engineering, involving five specialties: architecture theory and design, design of building structure, geotechnical engineering, building materials, and construction technology. In the past few years, the principles have being followed in their report: emphasizing not only on the application of the advanced technology in modern industrial construction, but also on the universality of the advanced technology in civil engineering; focusing on some significant highlights from the current construction projects as well as some issues about theoretical innovation in civil engineering science; tending to first publication the papers about the research subject sponsored by the National/Provincial Natural Science Foundation and the ones about major construction projects. Industrial Construction adhered to the above standards in topic selection, soliciting and acceptance contributions. It has always being adhered to guidance, pertinence, practicability and innovation.
Industrial Construction has been a core periodical of China building science for years, and its published papers have been collected by databases well-known at home and abroad before: CSCD, CSTDB, EI, ICONDA, China Journal Full-text Database (CJFD), Chinese Metallurgy Journal Database, Scientific and Technological Periodicals for Statistics in China etc. Industrial Construction won a lot of honors in its history of more than 40 years: the first in appraisal of Science Journal of Ministry of Metallurgy in China for 18 years; prize-winner of Beijing Excellent Journal; first prize in appraisal of National Excellent Science Journal; golden medal of the first China Periodical Award in 2000; silver medal of the second China Periodical Award in 2003; received the title of “high-profile & high-quality” from General Administration of Press and Publication of the People's Republic of China in 2002.
Industrial Construction aimed to offer some guidelines and reference meanings to the policies and developing trend of building technology. Meanwhile, it has been trying to provide some supports to solve some significant technological issues appeared in the construction of civil engineering. Industrial Construction attempted to promote construction technology progress.
