Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The construction and long-term service of tunnels, slopes, and hydropower engineering projects are foci in the field of rock engineering. The mechanical characteristics and theory models of rocks are important parameters for the analysis of construction and operation safety. Numerical simulation is an important means for the analysis of engineering safety and scheme optimization. Field application is the key step with which to verify the proposed optimization scheme.
This Special Issue will publish high-quality and original papers focusing on the perspective of rock engineering. The topics discussed will include not only rock mechanics experiments, theory models, numerical simulation analyses, etc., but also the application of new methods in rock 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.
