Descriere Geotechnical and Geological Engineering publishes papers in the areas of soil and rock engineering and hydrology as applied in the civil engineering, mining and water industries. The emphasis is on the practical aspects of geotechnical engineering, engineering geology and hydrogeology, although papers on theoretical and experimental advances in soil and rock mechanics are also welcomed for inclusion. The journal encompasses the complete spectrum of geo-engineering although several areas have been identified which will be given particular priority: Tropical soil and rock engineering Information technology applications in geo-engineering; Geo-environmental engineering; Earthquake engineering and dynamic behaviour of soils and rocks; Mining engineering; Novel geotechnical construction techniques; Case histories describing geo-engineering projects.
