Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recent extreme weather triggered by climate changes and engineering activities have severely influenced soil behaviours. Geotechnical engineers are now faced with the inevitable challenge of environmentally friendly and sustainable development. Cross-disciplinary research in geotechnics is needed to cope with global warming, geohazards, soil degradation, and environmental contamination. This Special Issue aims to tackle the current challenges by bringing together state-of-the-art research in geotechnical engineering, from fundamental principles to practical applications.
Engineers and scientists working in the fields of computational geotechnics, bio-inspired geotechnical topics and research, eco-geotechnics, geoenvironmental engineering, greenhouse gases and climate change, pavement engineering, renewable energy sources, risk assessment and management, sustainable geotechnical engineering, underground engineering and construction and unsaturated soil mechanics and practice are particularly encouraged to submit articles with significant geotechnical components or applications.

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.

Title: Application of the thermosyphon technology in the highway roadbed in permafrost regions：a review
Author: Du
Highlights: 1、Highlighted the excellent working performance of the TPCT that improving the stability of the embankments and prevent it degrading due its excellent efficiency of heat transfer. 2、Summarized the industrial applications of the TPCT, along with their limitations. 3、Provide a valuable guidance for the design of the TPCT and construction of the permafrost regions in the future.
