The Journal of Geotechnical Studies is a peer-reviewed print and online publication dedicated to the rapid dissemination of high-quality, foundational research in the field of geotechnical engineering. This critical area of civil engineering focuses on the behavior of earth materials and their interaction with constructed systems, playing a vital role in the design, safety, and sustainability of infrastructure projects worldwide.
The journal covers all aspects of geotechnical studies, ranging from soil and rock mechanics, foundation engineering, and ground improvement to slope stability, geosynthetics, and geohazard mitigation. Emphasis is placed on both fundamental research and real-world applications that contribute to advancements in geotechnical theory, practice, and technology.
The primary aim of this journal is to foster the exchange of knowledge, research findings, and innovations in the rapidly evolving field of geotechnical engineering. JGS seeks to address both current challenges and emerging opportunities in soil-structure interaction, ground behavior, and infrastructure performance, with a focus on sustainable, resilient, and cost-effective engineering solutions. The journal publishes a variety of content, including original research articles, technical papers, reviews, and case studies, covering but not limited to the following areas:
