Special Column on "The 6th National Cold Area Geotechnical Mechanics and Engineering Youth Academic Forum"

Introduction:

To broaden the research horizons of young scholars of cold area geotechnical mechanics and engineering, and to explore frontier trends while promoting interdisciplinary integration and innovation, a youth forum of cold area geotechnical mechanics and engineering was organized. The theme of this forum is “New theories and technologies in geotechnical engineering and artificial freezing engineering in cold areas”. Young scholars engaged in new theories and technologies in geotechnical engineering, artificial freezing engineering in cold areas, cold region geography and environment, and cold region resource development are warmly invited to contribute to this Special Column. Papers deemed suitable are sent to a minimum of two independent double-blind expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the paper. The Editors-in-Chief are responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles.

Topics covered:

• Mechanical properties and constitutive relationship of rock and soil materials in cold region
• Theory and technology of multi-field coupling in geotechnical engineering in cold region
• Geotechnical engineering safety and disaster prevention and mitigation in cold region
• New technology of design and construction of artificial ground freezing method
• New advances in geotechnical engineering theory and technology

Important Deadlines:

• Submission deadline: 31 October 2024.

Submission Instructions:

Please read the Guide for Authors before submitting. All articles should be submitted online, please select [6th NCAGME Youth Forum] on submission.
