National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Athens, Greece. Renewable Energy Sources; Energy; Environment; Sustainability.

Aim and Scope

In today's complex world, Civil Engineering stands out as a vital field globally. Some of the major challenges faced by the world today include high building energy consumption, uncertain sea level estimation, rising soil and coastal erosion, inadequate water quality, dwindling groundwater resources, increasing traffic congestion, poor infrastructure resilience to disasters, deteriorating infrastructure, the necessity for improved mining and coal ash waste disposal methods, and low construction site safety. Civil engineers are often tasked with finding solutions to these challenges. Their work frequently involves creating intricate numerical or mathematical models to handle vast amounts of data and conducting repeated experimental studies. This makes civil engineering an ideal field for the application of computer-aided design and simulation technology.

In the construction of a twin-shield tunnel in limited underground space, the design of the clear distance between the two lines needs to consider not only the safety issues related to the interaction during excavation but also the low-carbon effect, aiming to precisely shorten the distance and fully utilize the underground space, thus saving land resources. In this paper, the earth pressure patterns in a shallow-buried twin-shield tunnel with small spacing are clarified. Furthermore, based on the Mohr-Coulomb shear failure criterion of the middle bearing pillar, a theoretical decision model for safe clear distance in it, adaptable to different geological formations, is established. In addition, its accuracy is verified through numerical simulations. At last, the quantitative influence of various parameters on the safe clear distance is analyzed using the theoretical model. The results of the study offer a theoretical foundation for the design of a clear distance between a shallow-buried twin-shield tunnel with small spacing and the parameterized measurement of the ground reinforcement needed for its construction.

Manuscript preparation guidelines for journal authors – Engineering

Our engineering journal titles report the latest research and current practice for the benefit of the international civil engineering profession and related disciplines. We also cover historical research and lessons learned from past events. Each paper is independently assessed and peer-reviewed.

All of our engineering titles broadly follow the guidelines below. More specific instruction may be found on the journal homepage of the title that you are submitting to.

Types of content

• Paper  (including research, case study or project papers) A Research article is an original presentation of findings from an investigation. A case study looks at the effects of the implementation of, for example, a system and analyses it, in context of the situation.
• State-of-the-art review A state-of-the-art review is an up-to-date summary of knowledge on a particular subject or issue and represents an overview of recent developments.
• Briefing articles Short, topical updates, which are not sufficiently comprehensive or novel to be submitted as a research article. Typically, briefings are used to provide authoritative updates of relevant technical, regulatory and professional developments. They can introduce new ideas, explain new legislation, reflect on industry trends, provide the background to a new product or service, discuss anniversaries and events, or simply report a short case history.
• Book review A book review provides a short description of an academic title and evaluates its quality and contribution to the field in question.
• Discussion This article format allows reader to comment on previously published papers. Authors of the paper being discussed are given the right to reply. All correspondence is peer-reviewed by a member of the Editorial Board or Panel.
• Letters ( Géotechnique Letters only, 2,000 words max) Géotechnique Letters seeks the presentation of novel or emerging ideas and designs, current case studies or the results arising from recently completed research or work in progress that may be of immediate interest to the wider geotechnical community. The shorter format encourages the rapid publication of articles.

Length (excluding abstract and reference list)

• Research articles have a maximum length of 5,000 words (excluding article title, abstract and reference list).
• Briefing articles have a word count limit of 1,800.
• Across all journals there is a word count limit of 500 for discussions and book reviews.
• Géotechnique  research articles have a page limit corresponding to 12 published journal pages, combining all aspects of the paper ( See here for more details ).

If your article exceeds these restrictions, you can upload the additional information as supplementary data. Please note, that this is only published online and not in the print version of the journal. You can find out more information by reading our supplementary information policy .

Format and elements of submitted texts

Please prepare your main text document in Microsoft Word, text should be double line spaced, line numbered and pages should be numbered. We have a template available should you need it.

We also accept Latex files; you may use one of the following three templates i) Géotechnique ii Géotechnique Letters iii) Proceedings of ICE journal . Latex file manuscripts must be submitted using  our template along with a PDF copy of the manuscript.

Please note that the style that you submit your paper in (e.g. any additional italics or bold fonts, bullet points, etc.) may be changed on publication to accommodate our house style.

• The text should be written in UK English, in the third person and all spelling follow the latest edition of The Concise Oxford English Dictionary, with a preference for ‘s’ rather than ‘z’ spellings, e.g. specialise.
• The manuscript should be able to be readily understood by a civil engineer and avoid any colloquialisms.
• The terms, including nomenclature and abbreviations, and style should be consistent throughout the text. Please bear this in mind when collaborating with other authors on the text.
• Referring directly to the names of individuals, organisations, products or services is forbidden unless essential to the comprehension of the manuscript. Gratuitous flattery or derogatory remarks about any person/organisation should not be included.
• Principal participants in a project should be listed separately in a table or acknowledgement at the end of the text. If a person/client is involved, you should seek their permission to detail the project.
• We do not accept footnotes.
• Symbols and Units: SI and derived units should be used, including for historical structures.
• Abbreviations: the use of internationally recognised abbreviations is allowed in the text provided they are defined on first use. Abbreviations should not be used in the title unless a commonly used, non-specialist term. Any abbreviations which can be pronounced as a word (i.e. acronyms) should generally have an upper-case initial only (e.g. Defra). Symbols for chemical elements and compounds should not be used as abbreviations unless in the context of a chemical equation. In particular, ‘carbon dioxide’ should not be abbreviated to ‘CO2’ or ‘carbon’.
• Use bullet points rather than numbered lists.
• Text should be 1.5 spacing or double spaced.

The following is a detailed manuscript preparation guide for research articles to ICE Publishing’s engineering titles; however, they can, in the most part, be used as a basis for other article types amending to concur with the word limit and premise of the formats, as appropriate.

Citation metrics

CiteScore 2023

Further information

CiteScore is a simple way of measuring the citation impact of sources, such as journals.

Calculating the CiteScore is based on the number of citations to documents (articles, reviews, conference papers, book chapters, and data papers) by a journal over four years, divided by the number of the same document types indexed in Scopus and published in those same four years.

For more information and methodology visit the Scopus definition

CiteScore Tracker 2024

(updated monthly)

CiteScore Tracker is calculated in the same way as CiteScore, but for the current year rather than previous, complete years.

The CiteScore Tracker calculation is updated every month, as a current indication of a title's performance.

2023 Impact Factor

The Journal Impact Factor is published each year by Clarivate Analytics. It is a measure of the number of times an average paper in a particular journal is cited during the preceding two years.

For more information and methodology see Clarivate Analytics

5-year Impact Factor (2023)

A base of five years may be more appropriate for journals in certain fields because the body of citations may not be large enough to make reasonable comparisons, or it may take longer than two years to publish and distribute leading to a longer period before others cite the work.

Actual value is intentionally only displayed for the most recent year. Earlier values are available in the Journal Citation Reports from Clarivate Analytics .

A topical collection in Materials (ISSN 1996-1944). This collection belongs to the section " Construction and Building Materials ".

Share This Topical Collection

Topical Collection Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, much progress has been made in the development of advanced civil engineering materials. This progress has largely concerned the synthesis of new materials, the modification of the material composition of traditional materials, and recycling. This multidisciplinary approach has been used to develop innovative products and materials with new or improved properties. Their application can accelerate economic development and contribute to improving the security and standard of living of a region’s inhabitants. An indispensable element of meeting this challenge is the development of new construction materials that are both of high strength and durability and safe for humans and the environment. This development should be carried out in accordance with principles of sustainable development and economically sensible. Thanks to nanotechnology and biotechnology, it is now possible to design and modify the structure of materials to obtain a construction product with the desired functional properties. With this in mind, this Topical Collection will be devoted to advanced civil engineering materials. Particular emphasis will be placed on their synthesis and application. We welcome experimental articles, review articles, and case studies demonstrating the application potential of advanced civil engineering materials.

Prof. Dr. Łukasz Sadowski Collection Editor

Abstract— Since the ancient times, many researches and advancements were carried to enhance the physical and mechanical properties of concrete. Fiber reinforced concrete is one among those advancements which offers a convenient, practical and economical method for overcoming micro cracks and similar type of deficiencies. Since concrete is weak in tension hence some measures must be adopted to overcome this deficiency. Human hair is generally strong in tension; hence it can be used as a fiber reinforcement material. Human hair Fiber is an alternative non-degradable matter available in abundance and at cheap cost. It also reduces environmental problems. Also addition of human hair fibers enhances the binding properties, micro cracking control, Imparts ductility and also increases swelling resistance. The experimental findings in our studies would encourage future research in the direction for long term performance to extending this cost of effective type of fibers for use in structural applications. Experiments were conducted on concrete cubes, cylinders and beams of standard sizes with addition of various percentages of human hair fiber i.e., 0%, 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% by weight of cement, fine & coarse aggregate and results were compared with those of plain cement concrete of M-20 grade. For each percentage of human hair added in concrete, four cubes, three cylinders and three beams were tested for their respective mechanical properties at curing periods of 3 , 7 and 28 days. Optimum hair fiber content was obtained as 1.5% by weight of cement.

Keywords: Human Hair, Concrete, Fibre Reinforcement

ABSTRACT Self-healing materials are a class of smart materials that have the structurally incorporated ability to repair damage caused by mechanical usage over time. The inspiration comes from biological systems, which have the ability to heal after being wounded. Initiation of cracks and other types of damage on a microscopic level has been shown to change thermal, electrical, and acoustical properties, and eventually lead to whole scale failure of the material. Usually, cracks are mended by hand, which is unsatisfactory because cracks are often hard to detect. A material (polymers, ceramics, etc.) that can intrinsically correct damage caused by normal usage could lower production costs of a number of different industrial processes through longer part lifetime, reduction of inefficiency over time caused by degradation, as well as prevent costs incurred by material failure. For a material to be defined strictly as self-healing, it is necessary that the healing process occurs without human intervention. Some examples shown below, however, include healing polymers that require intervention to initiate the healing process.

A good way to enable multiple healing events is to use living (or unterminated chain-ends) polymerization catalysts. If the walls of the capsule are created too thick, they may not fracture when the crack approaches, but if they are too thin, they may rupture prematurely.

In order for this process to happen at room temperature, and for the reactants to remain in a monomeric state within the capsule, a catalyst is also imbedded into the thermoset. The catalyst lowers the energy barrier of the reaction and allows the monomer to polymerize without the addition of heat. The capsules (often made of wax) around the monomer and the catalyst are important maintain separation until the crack facilitates the reaction.

There are many challenges in designing this type of material. First, the reactivity of the catalyst must be maintained even after it is enclosed in wax. Additionally, the monomer must flow at a sufficient rate (have low enough viscosity) to cover the entire crack before it is polymerized, or full healing capacity will not be reached. Finally, the catalyst must quickly dissolve into monomer in order to react efficiently and prevent the crack from spreading further.

Abstract: Large quantities of construction and demolition wastes are continuing being generated which are just being dumped in the landfills. This requires large areas of land which is becoming difficult to find. The best solution would be to recycle and reuse the demolished waste which would not only help in protecting the environment but also help in dealing with construction wastes. Consequently, it have a grave difficulty to produce ecological toxic waste and in addition, obligatory a huge sum of liberty. That says about the project reuse waste crushed concrete maters (WCC) from the lath wastage of crushed concrete replacing from coarse aggregate 20%, 30%, 40% (WCC), 3% of crushed coarse aggregate (lathe waste) to reduce the generation of demolition wastes. (The analysis of demolished crushed concrete aggregate (DCCA) concrete in regular mold cast is to be ready in (7, 14, 28) days hydration and examination to be conduct lying on concrete. Such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, & flextural strength.) The replacing of coarse aggregate uses of waste mater and required strength attain in the conventional M20 grade concrete.

Keywords – Demolished Crushed Concrete Aggregate (DCCA), OPC (53 grade) cement, Lathe waste, Fine aggregate, coarse aggregate.

Chapter- 1 Introduction 1.1. General:

Mahatma Gandhi envisioned a society where the man would live in harmony with nature. He Propounded having self-sufficient village communities to achieve this goal, having a civilization built on renewable resources. He insisted for the growth of human beings from every stratum of the society and to avoid wasteful use of resources. It is in the Indian culture system to find use for everything, which may be considered as waste by many. However in the race of rapid urbanization and globalization we have lost these practices leading to unsustainable growth of cities.

As per Figure 1.1, by 2008, 30% of Indian population was living in cities generating 58% of the total GDP of India. It is estimated that by 2030, more than 40% of Indians would be living in urban areas contributing to about 70% of the GDP. The cities are going to be the engines of growth for India to become a developed nation and so, the quality of life needs to be improved for sustaining the growth in the long term. India being the second most populated country in the world has some of the most densely populated cities in the world. The rise in Indian economy in the last couple of decades has created many job opportunities in the cities leading to a rapid influx of migrants from the rural areas to the urban areas.

ABSTRACT: As the infrastructure is developing there is need for some changes in the construction field, as one cannot rely on the same method for a long time as it can have different consequences. The main consequence is the shortage of material and manpower. Also, money matters a lot in construction department along with it the machines, equipment and technology in some region is not at a level, which we want. Hence in order to satisfy these results Bubble deck slab is one of the most effective slab techniques to replace conventional slab in terms of money and materials. Also, it requires less time to construct as compared to conventional slab.

1.0 INTRODUCTION: Bubble Deck is a revolutionary method of virtually eliminating concrete from the middle of a floor slab not performing any structural function, thereby dramatically reducing structural dead weight. Bubble Deck is based on a new patented technique- the direct way of linking air and steel. Void formers in the middle of a flat slab eliminates 35% of a slabs self-weight removing constraints of high dead loads and short spans.

Incorporation of recycled plastic bubbles as void formers permits 50% longer spans between columns. Combination of this with a flat slab construction approach spanning in two directions – the slab is connected directly to insitu concrete columns without any beams -produces a wide range of cost and construction benefits including:-

1.INTRODUCTION The artificial recharge to ground water aims at augmentation of ground water reservoir by modifying the natural movement of surface water utilizing suitable civil construction techniques. Artificial recharge techniques normally address to following issues –

(i) To enhance the sustainable yield in areas where over-development has depleted the aquifer

(ii) Conservation and storage of excess surface water for future requirements, since these requirements often changes within a season or a period.

(iii) To improve the quality of existing ground water through dilution.

(iv) To remove bacteriological and other impurities from sewage and waste water so that water is suitable for re-use.

Thus, in most situation, artificial recharge projects not only serve as water conservation mechanism but also assist in overcoming problem associated with overdraft.The increasing demand for water has increased awareness towards the use of artificial recharge to augment ground water supplies. Stated simply, artificial recharge is a process by which excess surface-water is directed into the ground – either by spreading on the surface, by using recharge wells, or by altering natural conditions to increase infiltration – to replenish an aquifer. It refers to the movement of water through man-made systems from the surface of the earth to underground water-bearing strata where it may be stored for future use. Artificial recharge (sometimes called planned recharge) is a way to store water underground in times of water surplus to meet demand in times of shortage. Read More

CHAPTER 1 1.1 INTRODUCTION Rainwater harvesting is a technology used to collect, convey and store rain for later use from relatively clean surfaces such as a roof, land surface or rock catchment. The water is generally stored in a rainwater tank or directed to recharge groundwater. Rainwater infiltration is another aspect of rainwater harvesting playing an important role in storm water management and in the replenishment of the groundwater levels. Rainwater harvesting has been practiced for over 4,000 years throughout the world, traditionally in arid and semi-arid areas, and has provided drinking water, domestic water and water for livestock and small irrigation. Today, rainwater harvesting has gained much on significance as a modern, water-saving and simple technology.

The practice of collecting rainwater from rainfall events can be classified into two broad categories: land-based and roof-based. Land-based rainwater harvesting occurs when runoff from land surfaces is collected in furrow dikes, ponds, tanks and reservoirs. Roof-based rainwater harvesting refers to collecting rainwater runoff from roof surfaces which usually provides a much cleaner source of water that can be also used for drinking.

Over the past few years, India has seen a spurt in the vertical growth of buildings. They range from individual houses to very tall skyscrapers. Whenever news on earthquake is reported, we have only one question in our mind – Is our home safe during an earthquake?

Engineers always tell us that earthquake don’t kill, but that will be done by poorly built constructions. Earthquake resistant buildings can be made, only by constructing our homes with ductile character. For a better understanding in earthquake resistant buildings, we must acquire knowledge about earthquakes and its occurrence. The points are given as below;

What is hindering the adoption of 3D concrete printing?

The first three-dimensional printing using concrete came in 1995, and the technology has evolved over the past three decades. Just the cost savings alone should make 3D concrete printing attractive as new building technology. From reduced waste materials to faster construction times, it seems to be an efficient solution when combined with the freedom of design elements. While there has been buzz around some pioneering projects, overall there has been resistance in the industry, with some skepticism about the technology and a general lack of understanding by the public. Author Haidar Alhaidary encourages 3DCP adoption in his paper for the Journal of Architectural Engineering , “Three-Dimensional Concrete Printing as a Construction Automation Strategy and Assessments from a Case Study Building.”

Alhaidary begins by outlining current challenges in the construction industry, starting with declining productivity, the skilled labor shortage, ineffective project management, and unsustainable industry; and concluding with what he calls the rise in construction demand (the dichotomy between wanting to limit building to save the planet and addressing demands for urban expansion). He continues his argument by acknowledging the well-known resistance that the construction industry has shown toward change, and its hesitancy to adopt new, sometimes inferior, technologies. He uses the Middle East Engineering Technologies villa, completed in 2020, as a case study and addresses several challenges encountered during construction, as well as community criticism.

Numerous techniques and technologies exist to automate construction-related tasks, which include the latest three-dimensional concrete printing (3DCP) methodology. These automation techniques seek to solve the entrenched problems in construction, such as declining productivity, shortage of skilled workers, ineffectiveness in project management, unsustainability, and the increase in construction demand. The 3DCP has further benefits, such as quicker construction times, design freedom, and more predictability. However, there is resistance to adopting 3DCP in the industry and by the market. With experience from a 3DCP organization and a case study on a 3DCP villa, this paper presents the major challenges that hinder this technology’s adoption and use, important lessons learned from the villa construction, and highlights of the local community’s critical feedback.

Civil Engineering academic wins 2024 Best Research Oriented Award

Dr Charles Rougé, Senior Lecturer in Water Resilience, has been selected to receive the 2024 Best Research Oriented Paper award from the Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management on his paper “Forecast Families".

Dr Charles Rougé , Senior Lecturer in Water Resilience, has been selected to receive the 2024 Best Research Oriented Paper award from the Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management on his paper “Forecast Families: A New Method to Systematically Evaluate the Benefits of Improving the Skill of an Existing Forecast.”

This research paper investigates the effectiveness (skill) of existing forecasting methods and introduces a novel approach to assess whether improved accuracy translates to enhanced value in decision-making processes.

Big improvements in weather forecasting over recent years offer a goldmine for water management. By predicting changes in water demand and availability, these forecasts can help with floods, droughts, and allocating water resources effectively. However, how much water managers actually use these forecasts depends on their location, the specific water use and how far in advance the forecast is.

Dr Rougé said: “I am thrilled this collaborative work got this recognition. This shows the need for methods that make nuanced interpretations simpler and more accessible, in water resource engineering and beyond."

“Even though weather and water forecasts are getting better, they've mainly focused on how to use existing forecasts. This research proposes flipping the script: instead of just figuring out how to use forecasts, what if we asked which improvements to forecasts would be most beneficial to society?” Dr Charles Rougé Senior Lecturer in Water Resilience

The Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management, published by the American Society of Civil Engineers, is a leading source of information in its field.
