Aims & Scope

Geohazard Mechanics focuses on the mechanics of geohazards, including geological and hydrological studies, time-dependent degradation mechanisms, instability prediction of rock masses, hydro-mechanical coupling effects, instability of surrounding rock deformation in deep roadways, stress-driven crack evolution, plastic zone extension, and rock burst risks in coal mines. It also covers artificial intelligence applications in geohazard-related fields.
