《巖土工程學報》是一本國際期刊，致力于出版和傳播巖土工程基礎和應用研究，這是一個涉及土壤和巖石等巖土材料的跨學科領域。報道強調了地質力學模型與工程應用之間的相互作用。該雜志介紹了基于實驗、分析和/或數值方法的巖土力學基本概念及其在巖土工程中的新應用的原始研究論文。該期刊的主要目的是促進對地球材料現象和過程背后的基本機制的理解，從地球科學中出現的公里級問題到納米級問題，以及它們對地球工程的潛在影響。該雜志力求及時報告和存檔該領域的進展，向編輯提交研究論文、評論文章、簡短筆記和信件。

Acta Geotechnica is an international journal devoted to the publication and dissemination of basic and applied research in geoengineering – an interdisciplinary field dealing with geomaterials such as soils and rocks. Coverage emphasizes the interplay between geomechanical models and their engineering applications. The journal presents original research papers on fundamental concepts in geomechanics and their novel applications in geoengineering based on experimental, analytical and/or numerical approaches. The main purpose of the journal is to foster understanding of the fundamental mechanisms behind the phenomena and processes in geomaterials, from kilometer-scale problems as they occur in geoscience, and down to the nano-scale, with their potential impact on geoengineering. The journal strives to report and archive progress in the field in a timely manner, presenting research papers, review articles, short notes and letters to the editors.
