Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Past damage in geotechnical engineering-related soil dynamics underlines the importance of accurate assessments of soil dynamic behaviors. The assessment required shared and interdisciplinary research involving geotechnical engineers, seismologists, geologists, and geophysicists. The state of the art of soil dynamics and geotechnical engineering evaluates these various areas of research focusing on those developed within the past few years. The new theoretical analyses, practical developments, and recommended strategies could enhance the development of geotechnical engineering. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Rock mechanics and geotechnical engineering experiments, testing methods and monitoring techniques;
- Numerical analysis and simulation techniques of rock mechanics and geotechnical engineering;
- Multi-field coupling effects and multiphase and multi-scale mechanics of geotechnical engineering; geotechnical engineering mechanical equipment and new construction techniques;
- Underground space, foundation, foundation pit, slope and dam engineering.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
