Soil Mechanics refers to the specialist area of civil engineering requiring studies of the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of soils, and the application of these studies to the design, analysis, and construction of civil engineering structures— principally foundations, retaining walls, sheet pile walls, cofferdams, earth and rockfill dams, natural and man-made slopes, open excavations, tunnels, and pavement structures. It is necessary to consider the influence of the actual soil voltage distribution when establishing the consolidation equation to more realistically reflect the soil consolidation conditions during the vacuum preloading and electroosmosis process.  Citations are important for a journal to get an impact factor. Impact factor is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to recent articles published in the journal. The impact of the journal is influenced by impact factor, the journals with high impact factors are considered more important than those with lower ones. To increase the visibility and ease of use of open access scientific and scholarly journals PrimeOA Publications top online publishing journals are indexed in different indexing and archiving services.
