Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to showcase state-of-the-art research, critical literature reviews, pioneering fieldwork, innovative laboratory investigations, and advanced computational problem-solving in the context of structures in soil and rock. This Special Issue highlights original contributions across a diverse range of topics, including, but not limited to, shallow and deep foundations, retaining walls, tunnels and underground spaces, embankments, earth dams, soil and rock slopes, mining and excavation, and blasting. Submissions related to theories, applications, and real-world challenges in Geotechnical Engineering are welcomed. This Special Issue provides a platform for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present their latest findings and exchange ideas that will drive the future of geotechnical innovation.
