Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal publishes research on the engineering behavior of materials and structures in cold regions. Topics include the effects of freeze-thaw cycles on soil, rock, and concrete properties, as well as the performance of infrastructure like pavements, railways, and underground structures under cold conditions. It also covers methods for mitigating cold-related damage and improving the durability of construction materials in freezing environments.
