Advances in Slope and Rock Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions to the Special Issue on Advances in Slope and Rock Engineering.

The stability of slopes and related rock engineering has always been one of the core issues of concern for social development and engineering construction. With the rapid development of society, slope engineering construction has encountered an increasing number of complex rock mechanics problems. For example, the stability of slope under high ground stress in plateau areas, under dry/wet cycle in reservoir areas, or under the open-pit mining of resources pose new challenges to the theory and research methods of rock mechanics, which has attracted extensive attention from scholars.

In this Special Issue, we invite contributors to explore cutting-edge research and the latest achievements in the field of slope and related rock engineering. The results achieved through on-site investigations, theoretical analysis, indoor and outdoor experiments, numerical simulations, and other means are all welcome. Review articles on relevant research will be given priority consideration.

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.
