The Geotechnical Engineering section of the journal Current Chinese Science publishes original research articles, letters, reviews/mini-reviews and guest edited thematic issues on various topics related to geotechnical engineering. Articles may be focused largely, but not exclusively, on contributions from China.

This section is not limited to a specific aspect of the field but is instead devoted to a wide range of sub fields in the area. Articles of interdisciplinary nature are particularly welcome. Submissions in the following geotechnical engineering areas are of special interest to the readers of this journal:

• • Coastal and geotechnical ocean engineering
• • Computational geomechanics
• • Earthquake engineering
• • Environmental geotechnics
• • Foundation engineering
• • Geo-environmental engineering
• • Geohazards and mitigation
