Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal publishes research on soil mechanics, including the behavior of structured and reconstituted soils, soil classification systems, and the effects of cementation and water content on soil properties. It also covers the performance of geotechnical structures such as tunnels, pipelines, retaining walls, and pavements under various conditions, including seismic events, construction disturbances, and environmental impacts like climate change. The scope includes advancements in soil testing techniques, numerical modeling, and the application of machine learning in geotechnical engineering.
