Aims and Scope

The Journal of Civil Aspects and Structural Engineering (JCASE) is a pioneering, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the dissemination of cutting-edge research, innovative methodologies, and the latest advancements in the fields of civil and structural engineering. The journal aspires to serve as a premier platform for the exchange of ideas and findings among researchers, practitioners, and professionals engaged in the study, design, and implementation of civil engineering solutions and structural technologies.

JCASE's scope encompasses a broad spectrum of topics, aiming to reflect the interdisciplinary nature of civil and structural engineering. It encourages the submission of articles that cover, but are not limited to, the following areas:

  • Sustainable and Green Construction Technologies: Innovative approaches to sustainable building practices, green materials, and eco-friendly design principles that address environmental challenges and contribute to the development of sustainable urban environments.

  • Advanced Structural Mechanics: Research on the behavior of structures under various loads and the development of new materials and techniques to enhance structural integrity and longevity.

  • Earthquake Engineering and Seismic Retrofitting: Studies focused on improving the earthquake resilience of buildings and infrastructure through innovative design, assessment, and retrofitting strategies.

  • Civil Engineering Informatics: Application of information technology and digital tools in the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of civil engineering projects.

  • Water Resources Engineering: Research on the management of water resources, including hydrology, water supply and distribution, wastewater treatment, and flood control.

  • Geotechnical Engineering: Advances in the understanding of soil mechanics and its application to the design of foundations, retaining structures, and other ground engineering systems.

  • Transportation Engineering: Innovative solutions for transportation systems, infrastructure design, traffic management, and the impact of transportation on the environment and society.

  • Structural Health Monitoring and Inspection: Development and application of techniques for the monitoring, inspection, and condition assessment of structures to ensure safety and reliability.

  • Urban and Regional Planning: Studies on the planning and design of urban spaces and infrastructure to enhance livability, efficiency, and sustainability.

  • Risk Management and Resilience: Research on assessing, mitigating, and managing risks to civil infrastructure from natural hazards, climate change, and human activities.

JCASE is committed to fostering multidisciplinary collaboration and innovation within the civil and structural engineering communities. The journal welcomes original research articles, review papers, case studies, and technical notes that contribute significant knowledge and insights to the field. Through its rigorous peer review process, JCASE aims to ensure the highest standards of quality and relevance of its published content, supporting the advancement of civil and structural engineering practices worldwide.
