Civil and Geoengineering Letters is dedicated to publishing high-quality research that advances knowledge and practice in the fields of civil and geoengineering sciences. The primary aim of the journal is to serve as a forum for the dissemination of innovative research findings, methodologies, and applications that address both theoretical and practical challenges in engineering and environmental systems. The journal seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and provide insights that contribute to sustainable development, infrastructure resilience, and resource management.
Scope of the Journal
The journal welcomes contributions that fall within, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Civil Engineering: Structural systems, construction materials, transportation infrastructure, water and environmental systems, and infrastructure performance and management.
- Geotechnical Engineering: Soil and rock mechanics, ground improvement, foundation engineering, underground excavations, and advanced geotechnical analysis and design.
- Engineering Geology: Geological and hydrogeological characterisation, applied geophysics, geotechnical site investigation, and geodata-driven decision making for civil works.
- Geo-Infrastructures:Tunnels, deep and shallow underground structures, earth structures, dams, and geotechnical aspects of critical infrastructure systems.
- Natural Hazards & Georisks: Earthquake and seismic geotechnics, slope instability and landslides, ground failure, hazard and risk assessment, and resilience-based mitigation and design strategies.
Interdisciplinary and Emerging Fields: advanced modelling and simulation, data-driven and AI-based approaches, smart infrastructure, and other cross-disciplinary studies relevant to civil and geoengineering. By covering this broad range of topics, Civil and Geoengineering Letters aims to promote the exchange of knowledge between academia, industry, and policy-makers, and to encourage the development of innovative solutions for contemporary engineering and geoenvironmental challenges.
