Support Theory and Technology of Geotechnical Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Support theory and technology of geotechnical engineering involve a wide range of fields, including transportation, roads and highways, railways and public transport systems, underground stations, water and wastewater transmission, power and energy, and underground storage facilities. They have the characteristics of difficult construction, long cycle, high cost and far-reaching social impact. At present, they have become an important research discipline. This Topic focuses on the support theory and technology of underground space and covers a very wide scope of underground space and geotechnical engineering, including geo-investigation, geomechanics analysis, support design and modelling, construction, and monitoring; tunnels and large underground and earth-sheltered structure maintenance and rehabilitation; and underground space and underground space environment planning and development.

We invite papers on innovative technical developments, reviews, case studies, as well as analytical and assessment papers from different disciplines that are relevant to the topic of support theory and technology of geotechnical engineering.
