Advanced Technologies and Applications in Geotechnical Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

As global infrastructure systems face increasing demands from climate change, urbanization, and environmental sustainability, geotechnical engineering is undergoing a transformative shift. Advances in intelligent geotechnical materials, sensing technologies, and numerical modeling are playing a critical role in improving infrastructure resilience and performance across terrestrial and marine environments.

This Special Issue aims to present innovative research and practical developments that address current and future challenges in the field. Key areas of interest include offshore and marine geotechnics, biogeotechnics, soil erosion and in situ protection, multiphysics coupling numerical techniques, and climate-resilient infrastructure design. Topics such as the durability of engineering structures, corrosion protection and repair, in situ detection and monitoring technologies, and sustainable engineering solutions are also central to this Issue. We invite researchers, engineers, and practitioners to contribute original research articles, reviews, case studies, and technical notes that offer insight into emerging technologies and applications in geotechnical engineering. This Special Issue seeks to foster academic–industry collaboration and promote the advancement of sustainable, intelligent, and resilient infrastructure systems worldwide.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
