Focus and Scope

Journal Overview

Civil Engineering Journal (C.E.J) is a multidisciplinary, an open-access, internationally double-blind peer-reviewed journal published twelve (12) issues per year (monthly) by Salehan Institute of Higher Education, which was founded in 2015. It reports the latest and most creative research results in all aspects of civil engineering science and applications, including but are not necessarily limited to Construction and Building Materials, Structural and Earthquake Engineering, Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Water Science and Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Ocean and Marine Engineering, Urban Engineering, and Surveying Engineering. Articles of an interdisciplinary nature are particularly welcome. The editorial policy is to maintain a reasonable balance between papers regarding different research areas so that the journal will be useful to all interested scientific groups in these fields.

All published articles will be assigned DOI provided by CrossRef.

Special Issues

Special Issues deal with more focused topics with high current interest falling within the scope of the journal in which they are published. Special Issue proposals are welcome at any time during the year.

For most of the civil engineering conferences it is possible to submit papers presented at the conference for subsequent publication in special issues of the C.E.J.

Aim & Scope

Civil Engineering Journal (C.E.J) welcomes contributions, which promote the exchange of ideas and rational discourse between practicing educators and civil engineering researchers all over the world. C.E.J provides researchers and practitioners in structural and civil engineering with a unique forum for disseminating new ideas and techniques with significant potential impact.

The C.E.J is dedicated to advancing the boundary of knowledge and technology by encouraging cross-disciplinary research studies and innovative applications in major engineering projects. The journal intends to capture and archive in a timely manner and in one venue significant advancements in a broad field that encompasses, but is not limited to:

• Construction and Building Materials

• Structural and Earthquake Engineering

• Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering

• Environmental Engineering

• Water Science and Engineering

• Transportation Engineering

• Ocean and Marine Engineering

• Urban Engineering

• Surveying Engineering

Research Articles

This is the most common type of journal manuscript used to publish full reports of data from research. It may be called an Original Article, Research Article, Research, or just Article, depending on the journal. The Original Research format is suitable for many different fields and different types of studies. It includes full Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion sections.

Review Articles

Review Articles provide a comprehensive summary of research on a certain topic, and a perspective on the state of the field and where it is heading. They are often written by leaders in a particular discipline after invitation from the editors of a journal. Reviews are often widely read (for example, by researchers looking for a full introduction to a field) and highly cited.

Technical Note

Technical notes are brief articles focused on a new technique, method, or procedure. These should describe important modifications or unique applications for the described method. Technical notes can also be used for describing a new software tool or computational method. The structure should include an Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusions, with a suggested minimum word count of 3000 words.

Special Issue "Sustainable Infrastructure and Structural Engineering: Innovations in Construction and Design"

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.

Special Issue "Emerging Materials in Civil Engineering"

Closed (01 August 2020)

Materials in civil engineering mainly determine the sizes, shapes and forms of buildings in ambient conditions. Developing new materials or searching for new applications of materials are essential for improving the quality and quantity of constructions in civil engineering. Moreover, on account of various of building forms being created with several fundamental materials, the selection of materials and their quantities are the key factor in a project of civil engineering. This issue will focus on the new materials and their applications in civil engineering.
