Geomechanics and Geoengineering

Aims & Scope

Geomechanics is concerned with the application of the principle of mechanics to earth-materials (namely geo-material).

Geoengineering covers a wide range of engineering disciplines related to geo-materials, such as foundation engineering, slope engineering, tunnelling, rock engineering, engineering geology and geo-environmental engineering.

Geomechanics and Geoengineering is a major publication channel for research in the areas of soil and rock mechanics, geotechnical and geological engineering, engineering geology, geo-environmental engineering and all geo-material related engineering and science disciplines.

The Journal provides an international forum for the exchange of innovative ideas, especially between researchers in Asia and the rest of the world.
