Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Geosynthetics are currently one of the fastest-growing groups of engineering materials. Their functions include reinforcement, stiffening, filtration, separation, drainage, protection, and forming a barrier. The properties of geosynthetics make them suitable for a wide range of applications including retaining structures, embankments, dams, erosion control, sediment control, landfill liners, agriculture, and aquaculture. It is important to note that new products still appear on the geosynthetics market. These products are manufactured using modern production techniques. This requires the development of new and more advanced design methods and selection criteria for geosynthetics. The design of engineering structures using geosynthetics is increasingly based on numerical modeling techniques. Laboratory testing methods for geosynthetics are also being developed, allowing them to be used even more effectively in civil and environmental engineering. This Special Issue is dedicated to the latest research on these topics, covering all aspects of developments in the manufacture, selection, application, design, and testing of geosynthetics.
The following are some of the topics proposed for the Special Issue (not an exhaustive list):
- Manufacturing processes for geosynthetics;
- Anti-erosion control;
- Drainage and filtration;
- Reinforcement and soil stabilization;
- Designing and numerical modeling;
- Laboratory and field testing of geosynthetics;
- Innovative applications and sustainable development.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
