Case Studies in Construction Materials provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies on construction materials and related Short Communications, specialising in actual case studies involving real construction projects. Now by popular demand, CSCM has expanded the scope of the journal to also enable longer papers to be submitted for publication. As such, we would like to present two new article types:Full length research article (maximum 14000 words including figures and tables excluding references)Comprehensive review papers - by invitation (maximum 14000 words including figures and tables, excluding references).CSCM provides an essential compendium of case studies for practicing engineers, designers, researchers and other practitioners who are interested in all aspects construction materials. The journal will publish new and novel case studies, but will also provide a forum for the publication of high quality descriptions of classic construction material problems and solutions related to actual projects.Case Studies in Construction Materials covers a wide range of materials and technology including: cement, concrete, reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibres, recycled materials and by-products, sealants, and adhesives.The scope of Case Studies in Construction Materials includes, but is not restricted to, new works and repair and maintenance of the following: bridges, high-rise buildings, dams, civil engineering structures, silos, highway pavements, tunnels, water containment structures, sewers, roofing, housing, coastal defences.For enquiries please contact [email protected]
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

An official Journal of the International Geosynthetics SocietyGeotextiles are permeable fabrics which, when used in association with soil, have the ability to separate, filter, reinforce, protect or drain. As the use of geotextile fabrics has expanded there has been the introduction of geotextile composites and the development of products such as geogrids and meshes. Overall these materials are referred to as geotextiles and related products. All have a wide range of applications and are currently used to advantage in many civil engineering applications including roads, airfields, railroads, embankments, retaining structures, reservoirs, canals, dams, bank protection and coastal engineering.Geomembranes are impermeable membranes used widely as cut-offs and liners. Until recent years, geomembranes were used mostly as canal and pond liners; however, one of the largest current applications is to the containment of hazardous or municipal wastes and their leachates. In many of these applications geomembranes are employed with geotextile or mesh underliners which reinforce or protect the more flexible geomembrane whilst also acting as an escape route for gases and leachates generated in certain wastes.The range of products and their applications has expanded rapidly over the last decade with geotextiles and geomembranes being specified world wide. This rapid growth is paralleled by a virtual explosion of technology. Current reference books and even manufacturers' sponsored publications tend to date very quickly and the need for a vehicle to bring together and discuss the growing body of technology now available has become evident.Geotextiles and Geomembranes fills this need and provides a forum for the dissemination of information amongst research workers, designers, users and manufacturers. By providing a growing fund of information the journal increases general awareness, prompts further research and assists in the establishment of international codes and regulations.Types of Contribution: Refereed technical papers covering research, design, construction, applications and case studies; technical notes, professional practice papers, book reviews, reports of conferences and meetings, and letters to the Editor. All technical papers are open to written discussion. No limit to length is set and short notes are acceptable. Review articles may also be published at intervals, but the subject and contents of these should be discussed first with the Editor.
As an academic journal, Journal of Road Engineering (JRE) provides a platform for exchange and discussion of novel and creative ideas on theoretical and experimental researches on road engineering. It publishes peer-reviewed papers about roads construction and maintenance in special regions, environmentally friendly road materials, energy-saving and noise-reducing functional pavements, intelligent construction, etc., focusing on the basic theories and common technologies of road engineering under the concept of green, smart, resilient, sustainable, and electrical development. JRE is committed to promote the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements as well as serve scientific and technological development and academic communication in the field of road engineering.The scope of Journal of Road Engineering includes:Environmentally-friendly pavements and materialsRoad construction and maintenance in special regionsFunctional pavements and materialsIntelligent constructionResilient infrastructuresSustainable and low-carbon developmentSmart highway and smart citiesEnergy harvesting among roadwaysModeling and behaviors of pavementsAdvanced planning and managementInterdisciplinary and integrated topics related to pavement engineeringApplications of pavement engineering in infrastructure design, construction, maintenance, and operation, including airport pavement, port pavement, industrial floor and service areas, leisure and built-up areasEditorial Board
