Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to inform you that we have launched a Special Issue for a new series in Sustainability (IF 3.889, JCR Q2), entitled "Marine Geotechnical Engineering and Marine Civil Engineering Construction II". This SI aims to advance the state-of-the-art marine civil engineering construction techniques, the constructive model of marine geotechnical materials, and the marine structural response analysis, through experiments, numerical simulations, and field surveys.
Marine geotechnical engineering is attracting increasing attention with the rise of offshore structure construction, such as oil and gas platforms and undersea tunnels. Marine geotechnical hazards, on the other hand, remain a big challenge. Marine soil that is exposed to seawater significantly differs from conventional soil in physical and mechanical properties. This peculiarity further affects the marine geotechnical structures, such as marine foundation treatment, marine slope, anchors, and wind turbines pile foundation. Moreover, marine civil engineering construction techniques also vary due to the specificity of marine geotechnics. To better understand the marine geotechnical concerns in practice, the introduction of marine civil engineering construction techniques and marine geotechnical hazards based on field surveys is also appreciated. We hope that this SI will provide new insights into marine geotechnical challenges in marine civil construction and fill some research gaps in the field of marine geotechnical engineering.
This complex task revolves around several topics, including but not limited to the following:
- Marine soil mechanics;
- Offshore foundations;
- Marine geohazard;
- Wind turbines pile foundation;
- Artificial ground-freezing technology;
- Seismic hazards and risk analysis of the offshore structure;
- Reinforcement treatment methods for soft coastal foundations;
- Marine soil mechanics test and testing technology;
- Marine renewable energy;
- Structural health monitoring of marine structures;
- Uncertainty quantification of marine soil and structures;
- Reliability analysis of marine structures.

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. Sustainability 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.
