Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites multidisciplinary contributions addressing the current challenges and breakthroughs within landslide-related geotechnical research. The scope emphasizes the resilience of critical infrastructure impacted by landslides, particularly in mountainous regions. Contributions focusing on the influence of landslides on civil and architectural engineering, water conservancy systems, and transportation networks such as roads and railways are especially welcome. In addition, the issue encourages innovative technical methods for landslide remediation. New approaches including advanced numerical modeling, data-driven risk assessment, machine learning techniques, and cutting-edge remote sensing and field monitoring technologies are sought to improve early warning systems and guide effective mitigation strategies. Research addressing the design and performance evaluation of remedial measures, as well as case studies that integrate laboratory experiments and field investigations, will provide valuable insights for policy-making and urban planning. Ultimately, the Special Issue aims to translate scientific advancements into practical solutions that enhance infrastructure durability, ensure safety, and foster sustainable development in landslide-prone areas.

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.
