Aims & Scope

Original articles are welcomed on topics such as engineering behaviour of soils and rocks, foundations, slope stability, retaining structures, soil dynamics, geotechnical investigations, rock engineering, geotechnical earthquake engineering, geo-environmental engineering, geosynthetics, constitutive modeling of geomaterials, numerical modeling, and reliability analysis in geotechnical engineering, . Authors are also encouraged to submit papers on new and emerging topics like railway geotechnical engineering and forensic geotechnical engineering. Papers are welcomed on theoretical developments, analytical methods, numerical methods, testing, site investigations and case studies. Practice-oriented papers are particularly encouraged.
