Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Geoinfrastructure has been widely constructed and operated from ancient history to the modern day, including caves, channels, roads, highways, railways, airports, etc., manually or mechanically fabricated by raw earth or treated soils. For the multi-minerals and clay minerals within geomaterials, the derived geoinfrastructure services under the multi-field environments (thermo-hydro-chemo-bio-mechanical) are especially affected by global climate change. The performance response, including the interaction between the soil and structure, i.e., the enhancement and deterioration, is complex, but it is very important to improve infrastructure resilience and the full life-cycle’s efficiency. This Special Issue will explore the recent advances and challenges in the geoinfrastructure and topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Geomaterial behavior;
- Geoinfrastructure performance;
- Multi3 analysis;
- Short-/long-term evolution;
- Interaction between soil and structures;
- Geoheritage protection;
- Disaster prevention;
- Resilience restoration
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Geosciences.

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. Buildings 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 2600 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
