Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue entitled “Slope Stability and Earth Retaining Structures”.
Geotechnical structures such as slopes, tunnels, retaining walls, and foundations unavoidably suffer from various adverse factors during construction and service. These factors include rainfall, earthquake, groundwater and complex geological conditions, among others. To enhance the structural stability, reinforcement techniques such as piles, bolts and geosynthetics are generally used; these can be classified as favorable factors. To achieve more realistic and reliable solutions, the influences of these adverse and favorable factors should be carefully considered in the design and stability analysis of geotechnical structures. Although approaches to analyzing the stability of geotechnical structures are being increasingly developed, many problems remain to be addressed.
This Special Issue aims to aid in the recognition of the effects of different factors on the stability of geotechnical structures. In this Special Issue, we welcome submissions that contribute to the study of stability in geotechnical structures. Both analytical and numerical studies are welcome, as well as manuscripts presenting experiments or engineering applications.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
