Acta Geotechnica

Acta Geotechnica is an international peer-reviewed journal founded in 2006 and published by Springer, devoted to basic and applied research in geoengineering, an interdisciplinary field dealing with geomaterials such as soils and rocks, with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 6.5《岩土工程期刊》（Acta Geotechnica）创刊于 2006 年，由（Springer）出版，是国际同行评审期刊，致力于地质工程领域的基础与应用研究，该交叉学科处理土壤与岩石等岩土材料，2025 年影响因子为 6.5。

Scope

• The journal explores the mechanical, physical, hydraulic and thermal properties of geomaterials treated as multiphase media, with soils and rocks at the centre该刊把岩土材料作为多相介质，研究其力学、物理、水力与热学性质，以土壤与岩石为核心。
• Emphasis lies on the interplay between geomechanical models and their engineering applications, linking fundamental concepts in geomechanics to novel uses该刊强调地质力学模型与其工程应用之间的互动，把地质力学的基本概念与新颖应用相连。
• Original research may be experimental, analytical or numerical, and the journal explicitly spans scales from kilometre-scale problems of geoscience down to the nano-scale原创研究可采用实验、解析或数值方法，该刊明确覆盖从地球科学中的公里级问题直到纳米尺度的范围。
• Applications in foundation and dam engineering are a traditional strength of the journal基础工程与大坝工程的应用是该刊的传统强项。
• Mining, tunnelling and geohazard engineering are equally represented alongside geoenvironmental and petroleum engineering采矿、隧道与地质灾害工程同样多见，地质环境工程与石油工程亦在列。
• Accepted formats comprise research papers, review articles, short notes and letters to the editors该刊接收研究论文、综述文章、短笺与致编辑函四类体裁。
• Because it is the only general geotechnical journal in the world not attached to any national society, it positions itself as an independent premium home for the whole field由于它是全球唯一不挂靠任何国家学会的通用岩土工程期刊，它把自身定位为覆盖整个领域的独立高端发表园地。

History

• The journal was launched in 2006 as a slim quarterly with about five papers per issue, and Wei Wu of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna served as founding editor-in-chief该刊于 2006 年创办，初期为每期约五篇论文的薄弱季刊，维也纳自然资源与生命科学大学（BOKU）的吴伟（Wei Wu）任创刊主编。^[1]
