Journal of Civil Engineering Research

Journal of Civil Engineering Research is an open access scientific journal intended to bring together the information in different areas of civil engineering around the world. The aim of this journal is to combine theory and practice in civil engineering and thus advancement of civil engineering sciences. It will provide a platform for academicians, researchers and engineers to share their experience and solution to problems in different areas of civil engineering.
