International Journal of Civil Engineering
International Journal of Civil Engineering, The official publication of Iranian Society of Civil Engineering and Iran University of Science and Technology is devoted to original and interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed papers on theoretical and research related to the board spectrum of civil engineering with similar emphasis on all topics. The journal provides a forum for the International Civil Engineering Community to present and discuss matters of major interest, e.g. new developments in civil regulations. It is the incentive to keep the review period for scripts submitted to the journal to a minimum and to publish contribution in the board spectrum of IJCE include but are not necessarily restricted to : structures, geotechnics, transportation, environment, earthquakes, water resources, hydraulic and hydraulic structures, and construction management and material (Provided by Publisher).
The University of Manchester Library provides access to content from this journal from 2016 (Volume 14, Issue 1) to the present day.
Search for journal articles using Library Search (you can do keyword searches for either the title of a journal or an article).
Relevant journals relating to Civil Engineering:
The above list was compiled using Scopus and comprises a selection of the top journals relating to 'Civil and Structural Engineering' based on Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) ranking. For more information on the SNIP ranking metric, please visit Elsevier's Measuring a Journal's Impact page.
You can also browse a selection of the Civil Engineering related journals we subscribe to using Browzine.
Google Scholar can be a useful tool to use when searching for journal articles. However, it's important to be aware that Google Scholar will return results for articles, journals and other resources that the Library doesn't necessarily subscribe to and which you might not have free access to as a student at the University of Manchester.
In order to make it easier to identify and access content provided by the Library when searching Google (and without having to visit Library Search), we recommend that you download Library Access. This is a useful browser extension that will pop-up and notify you when you are on a journal or website that the Library has a subscription for.
If you are unable to access an article that you need, fill in the Order an Article form and we will get it for you.
University staff should use the Order an Article (Staff) form.
