Focus and Scope

Scope and Topics
Reflecting its mandate to advance the integrated study of earth-based infrastructure and connectivity, the journal welcomes high-quality original research articles, systematic literature reviews, computational modeling studies, and applied engineering case studies within the following thematic areas:

Geotechnical & Foundation Engineering: Soil and rock mechanics; deep foundations and earth retaining structures; tunneling and underground space technology; and slope stability, landslide mitigation, and seismic vulnerability assessments.

Transportation Infrastructure & Highway Engineering: Design and performance of pavements and railway tracks; traffic engineering and intelligent transportation systems (ITS); bridge engineering and aerodynamics; and sustainable mobility networks.

Structural Engineering & Advanced Materials: Analysis and design of resilient steel, concrete, and composite structures; earthquake and wind engineering; structural health monitoring (SHM); and the development of eco-friendly and smart construction materials.

Geospatial Engineering & Surveying Technologies: Applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), and remote sensing (LiDAR, InSAR, UAV photogrammetry) in infrastructure planning, topographical mapping, and geological surveying.

Sustainable Urban Planning & Environmental Infrastructure: Green civil infrastructure; stormwater management and sustainable drainage systems (SuDS); environmental impact assessments of large-scale construction; and the integration of built environments with natural topographies.
