Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on methods and research for improving the engineering properties of soil and ground conditions. It covers techniques such as controlled modulus columns, soil nailing, lime stabilization, geopolymer treatment, and the use of recycled materials like construction and demolition waste, recycled aggregates, and waste asphalt. The scope also includes the application of artificial intelligence and numerical modeling in predicting soil behavior and performance, as well as the use of stone columns, rigid inclusions, and grouting for ground improvement.
