Teknik Dergi, an open access scientific and technical periodical of UCTEA Chamber of Civil Engineers, publishes papers reporting original research work and major projects of interest in the area of civil engineering. Teknik Dergi annually publishes six issues, three in Turkish and three in English. Both printed and electronic versions of the journal are presented to the service of the civil engineering community.The main objective of Teknik Dergi is to inform the Turkish and international civil engineering communities, primarily the members of the Turkish Chamber of Civil Engineers about the recent scientific and technical developments, thus to contribute to the betterment of the civil engineering practice and to the improvement of the profession. In other words, to establish a bridge between the world of research and the world of practice.Its bi-lingual character enables an easy access to those Turkish civil engineers who prefer to read in Turkish and at the same time to make itself heard internationally and thus to reach the civil engineering community globally.The scope of Teknik Dergi is naturally confined with the subjects falling in the area of civil engineering. However, the area of civil engineering has recently been significantly enlarged, even the definition of civil engineering has somewhat changed.Half a century ago, engineering was simply defined as “the art of using and converting the natural resources for the benefit of the mankind”. Today, the same objective is expected to be realised (i) by complying with the desire and expectations of the people concerned and (ii) without wasting the resources and within the sustainability principles. This change has required an interaction between engineering and social and administrative sciences. Some subjects at the borderline between civil engineering and social and administrative sciences have consequently been included in the area of civil engineering.Teknik Dergi defines its scope in line with this understanding. However, it requires the papers falling in the borderline to have a significant component of civil engineering.

技術雜志是UCTEA土木工程師協會的開放式科技期刊，出版了報告土木工程領域原始研究工作和重要項目的論文。Teknik Dergi每年出版六期，三期是土耳其語，三期是英語。這本雜志的印刷版和電子版都為土木工程界服務。技術雜志的主要目標是向土耳其和國際土木工程界（主要是土耳其土木工程師協會成員）通報最近的科學和技術發展，從而有助于改善土木工程實踐和提高專業水平。換句話說，在研究世界和實踐世界之間架起一座橋梁。它的雙語特性使那些喜歡用土耳其語閱讀的土耳其土木工程師能夠很容易地接觸到，同時使自己在國際上被聽到，從而接觸到全球土木工程界。技術雜志的范圍自然受到土木工程領域主題的限制。然而，近年來，土木工程領域得到了很大的擴大，甚至土木工程的定義也有所改變。半個世紀前，工程被簡單地定義為“利用和轉換自然資源造福人類的藝術”。今天，同樣的目標有望實現：（1）遵守有關人員的愿望和期望；（2）在不浪費資源的情況下，在可持續性原則范圍內。這種變化需要工程和社會和行政科學之間的相互作用。因此，在土木工程與社會和行政科學之間的邊界上的一些學科被納入了土木工程領域。技術雜志根據這一理解定義了其范圍。然而，它要求那些處于邊緣的論文具有土木工程的重要組成部分。
