Physical Monitoring and Healthy Controlling of Geotechnical Engineering
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Geotechnical engineering has been closely involved with numerous multi-scale activities throughout human history. Recently, the role of geotechnical engineering is becoming more important in many fields including mining, tunnelling, roads, railways, slopes, buildings, bridges, foundations, and (tailing) dams, with global economic development, the increase in infrastructure facilities, and the increasing demand for safety. Due to the increasing amount and complexity of current geotechnical engineering, the effective physical monitoring and healthy control are, however, gradually becoming challenging topics for the application, running, and maintenance of geotechnical engineering. It is necessary to interpret the physical status of geotechnical engineering sites by co-operating with different monitoring approaches and to then perform effective control measures to prevent possible engineering-induced disasters. This research topic aims to provide a stage for novel research and new advances for monitoring and control in the field of geotechnical engineering. We welcome submissions from experts and scholars on the physical monitoring, disaster control, geomechanics and geophysics, induced seismicity, deformation of geomaterials, analogue modelling, numerical modelling, remote sensing applications, and intelligent geotechnical engineering. The areas to be covered in this research topic may include, but are not limited to: General Topics:
- Physical monitoring in geotechnical engineering;
- Disaster control in geotechnical engineering;
