Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soil liquefaction is always a challenging and hot topic in geotechnical disciplines, constantly at the forefront of research and discussion, because it poses a significant threat to buildings and infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and underground pipelines. Therefore, this Special Issue is intended for the presentation of new ideas and results in the field of soil liquefaction, covering topics from mechanism analyses to practical applications.
Areas relevant to soil liquefaction include, but are not limited to, soil liquefaction mechanism analyses, liquefaction evaluations, liquefaction mapping, liquefaction prediction, liquefaction-triggering procedures, liquefaction resistance criteria, post-liquefaction behaviors, soil liquefaction numerical simulations, and soil liquefaction centrifuge model tests.
This Special Issue will publish high-quality, original research papers in the overlapping fields below:
- Liquefaction resistance criteria；
- Earthquake-induced liquefaction hazard；
- Static liquefaction hazard；
- Soil liquefaction mechanism analysis；
- Liquefaction evaluation；
- Liquefaction mapping；
- Liquefaction prediction；
- Liquefaction-triggering procedure；
- Post-liquefaction behaviors;
- Soil liquefaction numerical simulation；
- Centrifuge model tests.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
