Fast, Easy Access to the Latest Geotechnical Information
The Geotechnical Testing Journal provides the latest and most reliable information available to the geotechnical community. The Geotechnical Testing Journal
- provides a high-quality publication that informs the profession of new developments in soil and rock testing and related fields
- offers a forum for the exchange of information, particularly that which leads to the development of new test procedures
- stimulates active participation of the profession in the work of ASTM International Committee D18 on Soil and Rock and related information
Papers published in the journal are peer-reviewed. As papers clear the peer review and editorial processes, they are included in the electronic version of the journal. The official publication of this journal for citation purposes is the online version.
Major topic areas covered in the Geotechnical Testing Journal include
- new testing equipment
- new procedures for both field and laboratory application
- evaluation of existing ASTM standards and test results
- recommendations for new standards for apparatus or test procedures; and test results that give insights into test procedures, techniques, and data interpretation
Information published in the journal includes papers, technical notes, letters to the editor, discussions of previously published papers, and book reviews.
The scope of information published in the Geotechnical Testing Journal includes
- test methods for soil and rock
- sampling
- nomenclature
- practices relating to the determination of properties and behavior of soil and rock for engineering purposes
- soil as a medium for plant growth
All topics are related to soil and rock but may include use and testing of geo-synthetic materials in conjunction with soil and rock, highway materials testing such as aggregate properties or pavement performance measurement, geophysical exploration, marine sediments, groundwater investigations, testing and stabilization of contaminated soils, and soil and rock engineering related to waste management.
The journal contains comprehensive, relevant information for researchers, engineers, students, instructors, and other professional working in geotechnical fields. Purchase your subscription to this portion of the ASTM Digital Library today.
