The journal focuses on geomechanical challenges and engineering solutions in underground construction, particularly in tunneling and related infrastructure projects. It addresses issues such as tunneling through complex geological formations, including swelling rocks, fault zones, and water-bearing soils, and the associated support and rehabilitation measures. The scope also includes the monitoring and management of natural hazards like landslides and the design of civil engineering structures such as flood protection levees.
