Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue, titled “Environmental Impact and Control of Geotechnical Engineering Construction”.
The improvement of both design methods and construction technologies is the driving force behind geotechnical engineering. This poses new challenges to studying the effect of underground construction on complicated surroundings as well as their corresponding control solutions. Therefore, this Special Issue intends to present new ideas and research results in the field of effect reduction of geotechnical engineering construction, from design methodology, construction technique, and practical use.
Areas relevant to the effect of underground construction and its corresponding control solution include, but are not limited to, novel design methods and applications, large-scale physical modelling techniques, the latest numerical modelling methodologies, high-precision monitoring technologies during field tests, artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and digital twin in geotechnical engineering. The role of geotechnical construction in mobility, quality of life, and urban development are also topics of interest.

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.
