Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Experimental and theoretical studies to determine the seismic stability of earth dams and reservoir dams are also critical since their destruction can have catastrophic consequences. Therefore, the determination of sliding surfaces and collapse of soil structures, taking into account the degree of moisture content of the soil massif and the soil's inelastic properties, are very relevant.
Ensuring the strength and stability of underground and underwater pipelines and tunnels during seismic impacts are the primary tasks of the population's life support. The preservation of the environment also depends on the seismic safety of underground pipelines that transport energy carriers.
Experimental studies of the behavior of underground and above ground structures under seismic or equivalent dynamic effects are very important. In recent years, centrifugal modeling methods have been effectively used in experimental studies of structures and their dynamics. The experimental results have undoubtedly led to new knowledge and, consequently, to new theories in seismic resistance of structures and infrastructure.

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.
