Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the father of soil mechanics, Karl Terzaghi, gave engineers a basic understanding of soil mechanics and behavior in 1925, the problem of geotechnical engineering has gradually received increasing attention. However, the stability of geotechnical engineering has been an important civil engineering problem for nearly a century. Scholars and engineers continue to invest a great deal of research and accumulated experience, and we now have a better grasp of the engineering and safety of earth materials. In recent years, with the rapid development of science and technology, there have been significant advances in both numerical analysis and test methods in geotechnical engineering. Most of the general geotechnical design is not a problem. However, it may be that the over-exploitation of resources has exacerbated global warming. The impact of extreme weather has gradually increased over the past two decades. Therefore, the sustainability of geotechnical projects and the timeliness of disaster prevention have gradually received attention. Based on the above factors, this Special Issue aims to publish high-quality research articles as well as reviews that seek to address recent advanced developments and applications in geotechnical safety, sustainability, and uncertainty.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Advanced techniques in soil improvement and reinforcement;
- Applications of smart techniques in geotechnical engineering;
- Nondestructive test methods in soils and rocks;
- Development of early warning techniques and disaster management systems;
- Advanced numerical modeling applied to geohazards;
- Development of new experimental techniques for soils and rocks;
Investigations of the effects of geotechnical uncertainties on stability problems.

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. Sustainability 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.
