Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Areas relevant to Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics mainly include the assessment of seismic action in terms of time histories or response spectra, as well as the evaluation of seismic-induced soil failures such as liquefaction of cohesionless deposits or co-seismic/post-seismic landslides and the assessment of kinematic actions on piles. The laboratory and in situ characterization of soil deposits is extremely important in relation to the above topics.
This Special Issue will publish high-quality original papers on the following topics:
- Probabilistic/deterministic assessment of seismic hazard and data from monitoring seismic array;
- Seismic response analyses: numerical computations vs. data from monitoring seismic array;
- Assessment of liquefaction risk: new tools and approaches;
- Seismic-induced kinematic actions on piles and piled rafts (numerical analyses and observations);
- Review and comparison of simplified approaches for the assessment of seismic risk;
- Seismic-induced landslides (case studies);
- New laboratory testing for soil dynamics characteristics (stiffness, damping, strength).

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.
