Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 4th International Conference on Performance-Based Design in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering (PBD-IV) will be hosted by the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering—Technical Committee TC203 on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering and Associated Problems between the 15th and 17th of July, 2022. The goal of PBD-IV is to provide an open forum for delegates to interact with their international colleagues and advance performance-based design research and practices in earthquake geotechnical engineering.
Papers published in the Special Issue The 4th International Conference on Performance-Based Design in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering (PBD-IV) will be focused on the following topics:
- Performance-based design codes and guidance
- Performance-based design methodologies
- Seismic hazard assessments
- Ground motions and site effects
- Soil–structure interactions
- Multiple hazards
- Resiliency
- Site characterization with in situ and laboratory testing
- Physical modeling
- Numerical analyses
- Liquefaction
- Cyclic softening in clays and plastic silts
- Challenging soils
- High-rise buildings
- Underground structures
- Dams and embankments
- Offshore structures
- Port facilities and wharves
- High speed rail
- Bridges
- Lifelines
- Retaining structures and mechanically stabilized soils
- Foundations
- Slope stability
- Landfills
- Mine stability
- Ground improvement techniques

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.
