Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to inform you that we have launched a new Special Issue in Journal of Marine Science and Engineering [JMSE] (IF 2.744, JCR Q2) entitled "Advance in Marine Geotechnical Engineering”. This Special Issue aims to advance different state-of-the-art survey methods in marine geotechnical engineering, marine material properties determination and site investigation, constitutive models of marine geotechnical materials, and marine structural response analysis through experiments, numerical simulations, and field seafloor scour.
Advances in marine geotechnical engineering can be achieved via the application of scientific knowledge and engineering techniques to the investigation of seafloor materials and the characterization of the seafloor’s physical properties. Seafloor soil behavior in relation to infrastructural construction on the seafloor is poorly understood. With the rapid development of marine resource exploration in recent years, coastal geohazard and offshore geotechnical engineering have attracted the attention of coastal geotechnical engineers and made significant progress. Authors are encouraged to submit theoretical, numerical, experimental, and applied articles addressing this theme. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following research topics:
- Characterization of variable seafloors;
- Coupling reactions of submarine sediments subjected tdynamic stresses;
- Geological and geotechnical aspects of coastal/offshore infrastructure design and construction;
- Hydrodynamic studies of maritime structures;
- Prediction and protection against geohazards;
- Stability of submarine slopes and massive and filled structures;
- Environmental compatibility;
- Protection against high water levels and swell.

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.

Title: Stiffness evaluation of clay-XL monopile supporting 15MW offshore wind turbine in West Sea of South Korea
Abstract: This paper is about an analysis of the applicability of the lateral stiffness of XL-monopile embedded in cohesive soil. The target site is Incheon in South Korea, where there is a high possibility of developing an offshore wind farm. The clay type is different by depth, and the lowest layer is composed of rock. The clay constitutive model was verified through comparison of simulation results for small-diameter piles and field test data. Through additional simulations of the XL-monopile, the lateral stiffness was calculated, and the allowable natural frequency range of the 15 MW turbine was evaluated. Parameters for pile dimensions and clay properties were applied to propose a lateral stiffness and natural frequency model. It is expected that the proposed 15MW monopile characteristics, lateral stiffness, and natural frequency model can be used for offshore wind farm development.
Title: Analysis of Extreme Loads of a Tapered Monopile Foundation with CFDST
Abstract: In this study, the foundation of a tapered monopile for offshore wind power generators is presented and the extreme load analysis is conducted. The monopile is a form of combining a CFDST (concrete-filled double skin steel tubular) structure between the sea level and the mud line to reduce the thickness of the iron plate used for production and the wave load applied to offshore wind power generators. To prove the validity of the monopile, a total of 10 scenarios were written based on the taper length of the tapered monopile and the hollow ratio of CFDST, and a 3D finite element model required for analysis was developed and the reliability of the model was verified . In addition, assuming the installation of a tapered monopile on the Saemangeum coast of South Korea, an extreme load analysis was conducted by applying the environmental load, ground composition, and physical properties constructed based on the actual measurement data of the site to the model.
