Aims——Smart Underground Engineering is an international, peer-reviewed leading journal that publishes high-quality, scholarly research that addresses development, applications, and implications, in the field of underground engineering, computer science and emerging technologies. The interest is not in the individual technologies perse, but in their ultimate implications for the design, construction, operation, maintenance of tunnels related theoretical and application research, we welcome submissions on original advances in the understanding and particularly the progress in tunnel engineering, computer science, emerging technologies and their interdisciplinary in highway, railway, water conservancy and hydropower fields. Smart Underground Engineering shows the latest, most advanced research findings, current research opinions and problems, as well as emerging areas for new application. Scope——Smart Underground Engineering publishes original advances in both theoretical and experimental studies, including novel concepts, short/critical review, and commentaries at the interface of underground engineering and computer science. The following topics are examples within the scope of Smart Underground Engineering. (1)Smart probe technology in geology;(2)Smart construction equipment;(3)Digital design and Digital twins ;(4)Self-adaptability and resilience of for underground engineering;(5)Smart materials for underground engineering;(6)Smart monitoring and modelling for underground engineering;(6)Smart management and disaster prevention for underground engineering.
Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology incorporating Trenchless Technology Research is an international journal which publishes authoritative articles encompassing original research and case studies on the development of tunnelling technology, the use of underground space, underground construction, and trenchless technology.The journal is committed to publishing papers on the interdisciplinary aspects of planning, creating, and regulating underground space, and covers a wide scope including:• Geo-investigation, geomechanics analysis, design and modelling, construction and monitoring, and maintenance and rehabilitation of tunnels and large underground and earth-sheltered structures.• Planning, development, and operation of underground space and underground space environment such as architecture, safety and comfort, and human-space interaction.• Installation and rehabilitation of underground pipelines, ducts, and cables using pipe jacking, microtunnelling, and other forms of trenchless technologies.
Underground Space is an open access international journal without article processing charges (APC) committed to serving as a scientific forum for researchers and practitioners in the field of underground engineering. The journal welcomes manuscripts that deal with original theories, methods, technologies, and important applications throughout the life-cycle of underground projects, including planning, design, operation and maintenance, disaster prevention, and demolition. The journal is particularly interested in manuscripts related to the latest development of smart underground engineering from the perspectives of resilience, resources saving, environmental friendliness, humanity, and artificial intelligence. The manuscripts are expected to have significant innovation and potential impact in the field of underground engineering, and should have clear association with or application in underground projects. The following are some examples about whether or not a manuscript is considered within the scope of this journal: A manuscript on constitutive modeling with no significant connection with underground space is out of the scope of the journal, but a manuscript about constitutive modeling for solving underground space problems such as predicting tunnel deformation and stability is considered within the scope of the journal.A manuscript on piling engineering with no significant connection with underground space is out of the scope of the journal, but a manuscript about the interactions between piles and underground structures such as tunnels is considered within the scope of the journal.A manuscript on slope stability with no significant connection with underground space is out of the scope of the journal, but a manuscript about the interaction between slopes and underground structures such as tunnels is considered within the scope of the journal.Editorial Board
