Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal publishes research on the mechanical behavior of geological materials and structures. Topics include the stability of breakwaters under wave loading, the seismic resilience of embankments, the behavior of porous rock formations, and the performance of underground engineering structures. The scope also encompasses the analysis of soil properties, rock mass mechanics, and the application of numerical and machine learning methods to geotechnical problems.
