Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soil–structure interaction issues are common in subsurface engineering, among other forms. Still, the mechanical response at the soil–structure interface is as crucial as the mechanical response of soil or structural material under load action in direct contact with soil. What is the stress–strain relationship and the load transfer mechanism if one begins to move about the other?
Most prior efforts on interface testing were based on direct shear, tri-axial, and pull-out tests, among others. The constitutive interface models are nonlinear, elastic–plastic, coupling, damage, and multi-field models. These works promote the study of the interface interaction well. How the mechanical response at the soil–structure interface is influenced by interface roughness, loading type, materials, testing environment, and so on, as well as three-dimensional interface information, is still insufficiently understood. Therefore, the mechanical response of the interface is still the focus of attention, and various new methods, theories, and models are still emerging.
In this Special Issue, we invite original contributions describing new research, case studies, projects, reviews, and state-of-the-art discussions related to the soil–structure interaction. Submissions may concern theoretical or applied research in areas such as geotechnical engineering, material science, civil engineering, or other fields.
We welcome papers on the following and related topics, including but not limited to the following:
- Macro and micro measurement technology on the soil–structure interface; including static and dynamic loading;
- Multi-field coupling constitutive model of the interface;
- Effect of interface mechanical properties on the stability of structures;
- New research methods related to digital technology.

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.
