Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the mechanics of rock and geotechnical engineering, particularly concerning underground construction, slope stability, and subsurface resource development. It investigates phenomena such as rock mass integrity, fracture propagation, and the behavior of soil-rock mixtures under various environmental and mechanical conditions. The journal also explores the application of advanced computational methods, including deep learning, machine learning, and numerical simulations, for prediction, monitoring, and analysis in these fields.
