Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the behavior and analysis of soil and rock masses, including their interaction with structures. Topics include the mechanical properties of soils under various conditions such as freeze-thaw cycles and expansive soil stabilization, the stability of slopes and tunnels, and the performance of foundations and earth retaining structures. The journal also covers groundwater control, impact loads on soils, and the application of numerical modeling and machine learning techniques in geotechnical engineering.
