Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global seismic activity is frequent, and statistics for the past decade show that the average annual number of strong earthquakes above 6.0 on the Richter scale is more than a few hundred, posing a serious threat to the safety of engineering structures. Under the action of strong earthquakes, hydraulic buildings may experience damage modes such as structural instability and loss of function and, at the same time, induce secondary disasters such as to foundations.
In order to effectively deal with the challenges of earthquake damages to hydraulic structures and geotechnical engineering, it is particularly urgent to develop and apply new seismic technologies and methods, not only improving the safety and reliability of hydraulic structures and geotechnical engineering in earthquakes, but also providing more scientific and effective theoretical and technical support for engineering design, construction, operation, and maintenance.
This Special Issue, titled “New Aseismic Technology and Methods in Hydraulic Structures and Geotechnical Engineering”, aims to gather cutting-edge research results and promote the innovative development of anti-seismic technologies in this field. The topics of interest include but are not limited to seismic response analyses and seismic design of hydraulic structures, seismic disaster prevention and control technologies in geotechnical engineering, research and optimization of ground motion input methods, and developments in fine numerical simulation and experimental technology.
We firmly believe that these themes are of great significance to the safe and sustainable development of hydropower resources and infrastructure.

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. Water 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 2600 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.
