Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The deep earth has garned significant attention due to its rich mineral resources and additional value. Minerals are mostly found in rock interlayers, resulting in many difficulties in resource extraction, such as rockburst, squeezing and rock collapse phenomena. To ensure the stability and safety of the resource extraction process, detailed analysis of intricate geology is required to fully understand different materials’ mechanical and structural properties. Finally, an effective systematic theory and method can be proposed for application in engineering practice. This Special Issue focuses on the latest advancements in mechanics and engineering technology for deep rock mass and soil. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Mechanical behaviors and characteristic evolution of deep rock and soil;
- Deep resource exploitation technology and application;
- Microstructural characterization;
- Multifield coupled simulation;
- Roadway surrounding rock stability control.

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.
