About the Journal
International Journal of Geological and Geotechnical Engineering [2581-5598(e)] is a peer-reviewed hybrid open-access journal launched in 2015 that is concerned with the engineering behavior of earth materials and mining. The journal also focuses on the dynamic behavior of the soil, rocks, earthquake mechanics, and other important fields of civil engineering that deal with geological and geotechnical engineering.
