Special Issue on Environmental Geotechnics by ISSMGE TC215 Published

We are pleased to announce the Special Issue #3 of Volume #8 of the International Journal of Geoengineering Case Histories, an official Journal of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE).

This Special Issue of the ISSMGE International Journal of Geoengineering Case Histories, edited by Guest Editor Prof. Andrea Dominijanni, ISSMGE TC215 Chair, focuses on the broader area of environmental geotechnics and soil behavior. Originally envisioned as an opportunity to publish case histories presented at the 9th International Congress on Environmental Geotechnics, held in Chania, Crete, on June 25–28, 2023, the issue was later expanded through a public call for papers to include contributions addressing soil behavior issues associated with the built environment.

Papers published in this refereed journal are freely available in color and are accompanied by databases that include the electronic data presented in the paper as well as additional figures (as necessary). The locations of the case histories are also positioned in the IJGCH Geographic Database.
