Advances in Civil Engineering publishes papers in all areas of civil engineering. The journal welcomes submissions across a range of disciplines, and publishes both theoretical and practical studies. Contributions from academia and from industry are equally encouraged.Subject areas include (but are by no means limited to):-Structural mechanics and engineering-Structural design and construction management-Structural analysis and computational mechanics-Construction technology and implementation-Construction materials design and engineering-Highway and transport engineering-Bridge and tunnel engineering-Municipal and urban engineering-Coastal, harbour and offshore engineering--Geotechnical and earthquake engineeringEngineering for water, waste, energy, and environmental applications-Hydraulic engineering and fluid mechanics-Surveying, monitoring, and control systems in construction-Health and safety in a civil engineering setting.Advances in Civil Engineering also publishes focused review articles that examine the state of the art, identify emerging trends, and suggest future directions for developing fields.
