Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is aimed at exploring the development and application of intelligent software in the field of geotechnical engineering, to address complex problems in this domain. With the advancement of information technology and intelligent computing theories, intelligent software has become crucial to the development of geotechnical engineering. The research and development (R&D) of intelligent software for geotechnical engineering has thus emerged as a topic of high research interest within both academic communities and industry. The effective and rational application of such intelligent software helps us gain deeper insights into core issues in geotechnical engineering, including open-pit mine stability, slope stability, tunnel and underground space design, deep formation energy development, and other related fields.
We invite scholars across the world to submit original research articles, review papers, and case studies, with a focus on the R&D and application of intelligent software in geotechnical engineering. Submissions should cover content related to intelligent software for geotechnical engineering, including mechanism analysis models, data analysis models, machine learning models, and analysis of the application of developed intelligent software in major engineering projects. We particularly welcome research findings in areas such as multi-field coupling analysis methods for deep underground engineering; application of intelligent computing theories in geotechnical engineering; and intelligent analysis models for drilling, completion, and oil-gas reservoir development. Additionally, submissions addressing the application of developed intelligent geotechnical software in practical engineering—especially those based on massive datasets and intelligent computing theories/methods—are also highly encouraged.
Key topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Analytical Methods for Geotechnical Engineering Under Multi-Field Coupling Effects;
- Geotechnical Engineering Models Based on Intelligent Computing Theories;
- Numerical Modeling and Intelligent Computing Methods in Deep Geothermal Energy Development Processes;
- Case Analysis of Practical Applications of Intelligent Software in Major Geotechnical Engineering Projects;
- Theoretical Models for the Application and Development of Intelligent Software in Drilling, Completion, and Oil-Gas Reservoir 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 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.
