Advanced Numerical Simulation Techniques for Geotechnical Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Advanced numerical simulation techniques are crucial for the long-term development of geotechnical engineering, particularly when combined with big data and machine learning. Innovative techniques have stimulated greater interest in creating more robust and accurate models and simulations under various geotechnical engineering scenarios. To obtain accurate predictions of rock fracture and fragmentation processes and prevent or mitigate geohazards, continuous advancements and applications of advanced numerical simulation techniques are essential.

This Special Issue welcomes submissions that explore the development or use of advanced numerical simulation techniques/methods in solving problems pertaining to geotechnical engineering. Topics of this Special Issue mainly include, but are not restricted to, the following:

• The development and application of advanced numerical simulation techniques/methods;
• The simulation of rock fracture and fragmentation processes under various geotechnical engineering scenarios;
• The application of rock dynamics and fracture mechanics in numerical simulations;
• The incorporation of big data and machine learning in numerical simulation techniques.

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. Eng is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1400 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.
