The journal focuses on Geotechnical engineering, Soil water, Foundation (engineering), Civil engineering and Structural engineering. The work on Geotechnical engineering tackled in it brings together disciplines like Hydraulic engineering and Deformation (meteorology). Some problems in Soil water that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Slump, Compaction and Loess.
The study on Foundation (engineering) presented in Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering intersects with the topics under Forensic engineering.
The journal publications cover a variety of subjects, including Geotechnical engineering, Soil water, Bearing capacity, Structural engineering and Foundation (engineering). While Geotechnical engineering is the focus of the published articles, it also provides insights into the studies of Shear (geology) and Soil test. The journal articles focus on Soil water but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Gypsum, Penetration (firestop) and Allowance (engineering).
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering is mainly concerned with subjects like Geotechnical engineering, Pile, Soil water, Foundation (engineering) and Bearing capacity. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Geotechnical engineering, it also covered topics in Stress (mechanics) and Finite element method. The close relationship between Crushed stone and Acceleration, Lateral surface and Centrifuge is one of the points of interest dissected in Pile research.
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering holds forums on Soil water that merges themes from other disciplines such as Consolidation (soil), Durability and Mineralogy. It explores issues in Foundation (engineering) which can be linked to other research areas like Permafrost, Displacement (vector), Base (geometry) and Shear (sheet metal). The journal explores research in Bearing capacity alongside concepts in Eccentricity (behavior) and other areas of study in Yield (engineering), Embedment, Model test and Ultimate load.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 31.15% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 35.71% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.90% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 21.43% of all publications and 30.95% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)For students interested in Engineering and Technology, exploring related online degrees can provide pathways to diverse and rewarding careers. A bachelor's degree in project management equips graduates with essential skills to oversee complex engineering projects efficiently, combining technical knowledge with leadership capabilities.
Healthcare technology is another rapidly growing field, with programs like health information management programs online offering students a chance to work at the intersection of IT and healthcare. These programs prepare professionals to manage patient data and healthcare systems securely and effectively.
For those pursuing management roles within healthcare technology, earning an mha online programs degree can open doors to leadership positions in hospitals, clinics, and healthcare organizations focused on technology integration and innovation.
Additionally, quick certification options like fast online medical billing and coding certification programs provide entry points into technical roles supporting healthcare administration, complementing engineering skills with specialized coding expertise.
