Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are proud to present this Special Issue on "Research on Building Foundations and Underground Engineering" which aims to showcase recent research findings and advancements in the field of building foundation and underground engineering. As urbanization accelerates and the utilization of underground space deepens, the study of building foundations and underground engineering has become a focal point of both academic research and engineering practice. This Special Issue highlights the following key areas:
- Foundation Engineering Design Methods and Technologies: This includes assessment of foundation-bearing capacity, design of deep and shallow foundations, and ground improvement techniques, providing scientific and technical support for foundation engineering practices.
- Underground Structure Design and Construction Technologies: The focus is on the design principles, construction methods, and quality control of underground structures such as buildings, subways, and tunnels, to enhance the development and utilization of underground spaces.
- Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering: Covering basic theories of soil mechanics, geotechnical investigation and testing methods, and disaster prevention and control, this section offers scientific guidance for geotechnical engineering practices.
- Groundwater Control Technology: This encompasses groundwater pollution control, the development and protection of groundwater resources, and groundwater control strategies, aiming to provide technical support for the rational use and protection of groundwater resources China.
- Green Building and Sustainable Development: Discussing the design concepts, technological paths, and case studies of green building foundations and underground engineering, this section promotes the green and sustainable development of the construction industry.
We hope you will find this Special Issue valuable and look forward to receiving your submissions!
