International  Journal of Geomechanics

Published ( 12 issues per year )

About

The International Journal of Geomechanics focuses on geomechanics, covering interdisciplinary topics such as soil and rock mechanics; statics and dynamics of interacting structures and foundations; fluid, oil, and gas flow through porous media; geoenvironmental engineering; natural hazards; petroleum engineering; offshore and marine technology; infrastructure and pavement engineering; geological engineering; geothermal energy; and ice mechanics. Specific topics the journal might cover are numerical and analytical methods; constitutive modeling; localization, fracture and instabilities; neural networks, expert systems, optimization, reliability, and computer-aided engineering; laboratory and field testing; geohazards (earthquakes, landslides, subsidence, etc.); soil and rock structure interaction; ground improvement and geosynthetics; pavement and infrastructure geomechanics; petroleum geomechanics; lunar and planetary geomechanics; seepage, consolidation, transport, and coupled problems; geotechnical structures (walls, slopes, dams, footings, piles, tunnels, mines, boreholes, and offshore structures); practical applications including design analysis, case studies, back analysis, and laboratory and field validations; construction processes; and education.
