Geomechanics is concerned with the application of the principle of mechanics to earth-materials (namely geo-material). Geoengineering covers a wide range of engineering disciplines related to geo-materials, such as foundation engineering, slope engineering, tunnelling, rock engineering, engineering geology and geo-environmental engineering.

Geomechanics and Geoengineering is a major publication channel for research in the areas of soil and rock mechanics, geotechnical and geological engineering, engineering geology, geo-environmental engineering and all geo-material related engineering and science disciplines. The Journal provides an international forum for the exchange of innovative ideas, especially between researchers in Asia and the rest of the world.

The Journal welcomes papers concerned with any aspect of geomechanics and geoengineering, including material behaviour, analysis procedures, design and construction. Papers published may take one of the following forms: practioners' detailed records of construction and performance (case studies), academic research studies, state-of-the-art reviews by invited authors, symposia in print, technical notes and discussion. While paper submissions from all parts of the world are equally welcome, the Journal is committed to publish high quality papers from China and other Asian countries.

All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
