About this journal

Aims and scope

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.

Open access

European Journal of Environmental and Civil Engineering is a hybrid open access journal that is part of our Open Select publishing program, giving you the option to publish open access. Publishing open access means that your article will be free to access online immediately on publication, increasing the visibility, readership, and impact of your research.

Why choose open access?

  1. Increase the discoverability and readership of your article
  2. Make an impact and reach new readers, not just those with easy access to a research library
  3. Freely share your work with anyone, anywhere
  4. Comply with funding mandates and meet the requirements of your institution, employer or funder
  5. Rigorous peer review for every open access article

Article Publishing Charges (APC)

If you choose to publish open access in this journal you may be asked to pay an Article Publishing Charge (APC). You may be able to publish your article at no cost to yourself or with a reduced APC if your institution or research funder has an open access agreement or membership with Taylor & Francis.
