State-of-Art of Soil Dynamics and Geotechnical Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

The ground-motion and soil liquefication is a leading cause of seismic hazard worldwide. Past damage in geotechnical engineering-related soil dynamics underline the importance of accurate assessments of soil dynamic behaviors. The assessment desired a shared and interdisciplinary reserches involving geotechnical engineers, seismologists, geologists, and geophysicists. State of the art of soil dynamics and geotechnical engineering evaluates these various reserches focusing on those developed within the past few years. The newly theoretical analysis, pritical developments, and recommended strategies could enhance the development of geotechnical engineering. To this purpose, new theories, experimental approaches, and numerical analyses related to the soil dynamic in geotechnical engineering are needed to safety protect and mitigate seismic hazazards.

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.
