JAER strives to advance research across civil engineering and related disciplines that will help inform, develop, and inspire sustainable action. We therefore encourage authors to categorize their research using at least one of the Sustainable Development Goals identified by the United Nations.

The Journal will cover, but is not limited to, the following topics:

    • Building maintenance and materials.
    • Computer-Aided-Design and Simulation.
    • Construction technology and engineering.
    • Contaminants (chemical, microbial, anthropogenic particles such as nanoparticles or microplastics) and related water quality sensing, monitoring, fate, and assessment.
    • Drinking water treatment and distribution.
    • Environmental engineering design and analysis.
    • Environmental restoration is linked to surface water, groundwater, and groundwater remediation.
    • Hydraulic structure design, analysis, and maintenance.
    • Intelligent buildings (operation and control).
    • Mathematical modeling, systems analysis, machine learning, and beneficial use of big data related to Engineering.
    • Structural testing, analysis, and design.
    • Sustainable design and operation.
    • Sustainable construction.
