The International Journal of Geoengineering Case Histories is a new, refereed online journal in
the field of Geoengineering. The journal aims to become a focal point of geotechnical
engineering practice worldwide by publishing case histories. The journal is refereed in
accordance to the procedures of the most prestigious journals in our field and the
Editorial Board of the journal consists of some of the best engineers of practice and
Professors worldwide that guarantee the quality of the publication.
Characteristics of the journal:
The International Journal of Geoengineering Case Histories has characteristics that
differentiate it from existing journals and will position it as a very useful tool for the
engineer of practice. Such characteristics are listed on the website of the journal and
include use of colored figures, compilation of a database of case histories, online
searchable directory of papers.
One of the most important characteristics of the journal is that it will be available at no
cost on the Internet, allowing unlimited access to engineers worldwide. Printed copies of
the journal will be available with subscription, but engineers will now be able to just visit
the website and download the papers that are of interest to them. Because of the journal’s
focus on case histories, its unique characteristics, the high quality of the publication and
its unrestricted access to its content, it is expected that it will become very popular among
engineers of practice but also among researchers that want to access the data. The journal
intends to be a free, very useful, high quality and everyday tool for the work of practicing
engineers. The journal was announced for the first time in the “Prakash Case Histories
Conference” this April and the responses by the engineers of practice were enthusiastic.
