Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Improving the soil or rock properties that support buildings is an important issue for scientists and engineers.
The functional characteristics of soil or rock not only depend on the composition and structural form of the soil, but also on various treatment methods.
The purpose of modern foundation treatment is to improve technical equipment and process parameters, as well as the composition and structure of rock and soil, in order to achieve high bearing capacity, high water stability, low interface resistance, and many other characteristics.
This Special Issue will focus on new perspectives regarding engineering materials and technical measures to improve the chemical or functional properties of soil or rock.
The topics discussed in this Special Issue will not only focus on the further processing of modern methods, technologies, and materials, but also on the verification of their characteristics through various civil engineering practices.

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.
