We are proud to announce that 59,770 papers from our database were downloaded in 2019.

The International Journal of Geoengineering Case Histories is an official journal of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, the premier scientific organization for geotechnical engineering worldwide. The Case Histories Journal covers the broad area of practice in geotechnical engineering (soils and rocks), including geotechnical earthquake engineering, environmental geotechnics and engineering geology, and energy geo-construction with a focus on careful documentation of case histories and emphasis on observations and data collected during and after project construction.

Papers published in this refereed journal are freely available in color and are accompanied by databases that include the electronic data presented in the paper as well as additional figures (as necessary). The locations of the case histories are also positioned in the IJGCH Geographic Database.

The open access vision of the journal is aimed to better serve the professional community. All papers are immediately downloadable by visitors and accessed through Google Scholar and Georef index index databases. The more than 59,000+ paper downloads in 2019 speaks volumes about the impact of the journal.
