Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering - ASCE

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering covers the broad area of practice known as geotechnical engineering.

Papers are welcomed on topics such as foundations, retaining structures, soil dynamics, engineering behavior of soil and rock, site characterization, slope stability, dams, rock engineering, earthquake engineering, environmental geotechnics, geosynthetics, computer modeling, groundwater monitoring and restoration, and coastal and geotechnical ocean engineering.

Authors are also encouraged to submit papers on new and emerging topics within the general discipline of geotechnical engineering.

Theoretical papers are welcomed, but there should be a clear and significant potential for practical application of the theory.

Practice-oriented papers and case studies are particularly welcomed and encouraged.
