Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Geotechnical engineering is one of the disciplines to be first called upon in the construction of the built environment. It is also one of the most resource-intensive disciplines within civil engineering. This Special Issue is focused on sustainable systems/design, sustainable materials, sustainable construction, and maintenance technologies. There have been many studies considering sustainability in energy geotechnics, material energy, material reuse and recycling, material and waste reengineering, foundation rehabilitation and reuse, the use of underground space, and sustainable ground improvement applications. The scope of this Special Issue is the quantitative evaluation of the social, economical and/or environmental impacts of sustainability practices in geotechnical engineering. The lessons learned or practices implemented in case studies as well as the development of frameworks for considering sustainability in geotechnical engineering design/construction are preferred. There are many qualitative assessment tools that are readily available and this Special Issue intends to supplement these studies with the quantitative assessment tools of geo-sustainable development or framework development.
