Scope
Aims, scope and focus
European Journal of Environmental and Civil Engineering is published by Taylor and Francis Ltd. and is in Zone 4 of Engineering in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Concrete and Cement Materials Research, Innovative concrete reinforcement materials and Geotechnical Engineering and Underground Structures, together about 29% of its articles. Its main subfields are Civil and Structural Engineering. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
The prime objective of the EJECE is to fully document advances in International scientific and technical research in the fields of sustainable construction and soil engineering. Manuscripts must present original studies including scientific advances. Case studies will be considered only if they relate to a clear scientific or technical innovation. We welcome submissions in the following areas: Geotechnical Engineering Rheology of geomaterials (cement, soils, rocks), natural media (muds, snow, ice, etc.) and granular materials. Studies of mechanical behaviour of natural media in their environment. Mitigation of soil-related risks. Soil-fluid-structure interactions, and their coupling with temperature, chemistry (degradation, etc.) and time (durability, ageing, etc.) Computation and design of geo-structures and engineering works. Major innovations arising from new experimental facilities and measurement tools (metrology and sensors in laboratories and in the field, etc), as well as the characterizing of displacement fields and of micro-meso-structures of materials (scanner, tomodensitometer, etc). Numerical methods (finite differences, finite elements, discrete elements, particulate methods, etc) which constitute the bases of modelling and computation of geo-structures and engineering works. Sustainable Construction Sustainability, Structural Design and Construction Experimental characterization and computational modelling of novel eco-friendly and durable structural engineering materials at various scales, including Re-cycling and up-cycling of engineering materials Computer aided and data driven methods for sustainable, energy and material reduced designs of engineering structures Digital engineering and advanced computational simulation methods for innovative circular economy concepts in structural engineering Digital construction technologies, automation and robotics Submissions that fall outside of the categories outlined above, fall outside the scope of EJECE and will be rejected. The Editors reserve the right to reject, without peer review, any papers deemed unsuitable.All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor(s), and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by at least two (2) independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double anonymized.
