Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Grouting has been widely used as an important technical means of underground engineering for geological disaster treatment since the 1920s, and a series of breakthroughs have been made in the research of corresponding grouting materials. Hundreds of grouting materials have been successfully applied in grouting engineering. With the increase of the scale and depth of underground engineering construction, the exposed geological conditions are becoming increasingly complex, the difficulty of geological disaster treatment is increasing, and the requirements for the performance of grouting materials are more stringent.
The main purpose of this Special Issue is to publish papers on the research and development of grouting materials, their performance regulation, and the latest research progress related to engineering, in order to provide support for the safe construction of underground engineering.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
