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 engineering Engineering 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.
