Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal publishes research on the mechanical behavior of soils and rocks, including the development and application of constitutive models to simulate soil response under various loading conditions. It covers topics such as cyclic liquefaction, particle breakage, and the influence of fabric anisotropy on material behavior. The scope also extends to geotechnical engineering applications like slope stability analysis, foundation design, and landslide prediction, incorporating factors like rainfall, vegetation, and groundwater table fluctuations. Additionally, the journal addresses numerical modeling techniques, experimental investigations, and the characterization of geomaterials, including marine clays and porous rocks.
