European Journal of Environmental and Civil Engineering

欧洲的研究领域现在已经成为现实。EJECE的主要目标是全面记录可持续建设和土壤工程领域国际科学和技术研究的进展。特别是在后者方面，自然介质（土壤和岩石）的环境保护和与土壤有关的风险的缓解现在不仅是重大的社会挑战，而且也是可能极其有益的科学和技术发展的来源。EJECE覆盖的区域包括土工材料（水泥、土壤、岩石）、天然介质（泥、雪、冰等）和颗粒材料的流变学、土壤-流体-结构相互作用及其与温度、化学（降解等）和时间（耐久性、老化等）的耦合、结构和工程的计算和设计。新的实验设施和测量工具（实验室和现场的计量和传感器等）以及位移场和材料微观细观结构（扫描仪、层析密度计等）的特征化，引发了主要关注EJECE的重大创新。最后，数值方法（有限差分法、有限元法、离散元法、微粒法等）显然构成了建模和结构和工程计算的基础，完全属于期刊的关注领域。

The European Research Area has now become a reality. The prime objective of the EJECE is to fully document advances in International scientific and technical research in the fields of sustainable construction and soil engineering. In particular regard to the latter, the environmental preservation of natural media (soils and rocks) and the mitigation of soil-related risks are now not only major societal challenges, but they are also the source of scientific and technical developments that could be extremely beneficial.Areas covered by the EJECE include rheology of geomaterials (cement, soils, rocks), natural media (muds, snow, ice, etc.) and granular materials, soil-fluid-structure interactions and their coupling with temperature, chemistry (degradation, etc.) and time (durability, ageing, etc.), computation and design of structures and engineering works. The new experimental facilities and measurement tools (metrology and sensors in laboratories and in the field, etc.) and the characterizing of displacement fields and of micro-meso-structures of materials (scanner, tomodensitometer, etc.) give rise to major innovations which concern thus primarily the EJECE. Finally the numerical methods (finite differences, finite elements, discrete elements, particulate methods, etc), which constitute obviously the bases of the modelling and of the computation of structures and engineering works, fall completely in the interest area of the Journal.
