Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of alpine and polar regions, urban underground spaces, and deep-sea continents is one of the environmental aspects for the scientific community to consider for the next 50 years, inducing great demands and many key challenges for major engineering construction. Along with the advances in major construction projects in these areas, extreme low temperatures, complex geological, hydrology and climate environment, etc., will significantly affect the engineering, geological characteristics of rock mass in these areas, hydraulic characteristics, physical and mechanical properties, and micro structural features. Therefore, this Special Issue plans to discuss the latest scientific issues regarding major geotechnical engineering and focuses on the characteristics of rock and soil in extremely complex environments, so as to provide scientific support for the safety construction of major projects in alpine and polar regions, urban underground spaces and deep-sea continents. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Characteristics of frost heave and the thaw settlement of rock and soil mass in complex environments; 2. Interactions between rock, soil and structures in complex environments; 3. The dynamic characteristics of rock and soil in complex environments; 4. Interactions between rock, soil and sea ice in polar environments; 5. The effects of polar engineering and environmental disasters; 6. Characteristics of rock and soil in marine environments; 7. Characteristics of rock mass under high pressures and temperatures in deep ground 8. Long-term strength characteristics of rock and soil in complex environments.

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.
