Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal publishes research on the behavior and analysis of soils and rocks, including their mechanical properties, microstructural evolution, and response to various environmental and engineering conditions. Topics include soil stabilization, rock mass behavior under mining and excavation, foundation design, and the impact of environmental factors like freeze-thaw cycles and salinity on geomaterials. The journal also covers numerical modeling, laboratory testing, and field investigations to understand complex geotechnical phenomena.
