Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In many geotechnical applications, the built structures and the surrounding soil inevitably work as a complete system during construction and under service conditions. Some examples are the soil-foundation system, soil-geosynthetic system, retaining wall-backfill system, pavement-subgrade system and underground structure-soil system. The safety and performance of these geotechnical systems are dependent on not only the behaviours of the soils and the structures but also the complex soil-structure interactions. The investigation of the soil-structure system (including the topic of soil-structure interaction) has attracted tremendous attention from both academics and engineers over the last decades. In recent years, we have seen growing applications of new technologies in the investigation of soil-structure systems, such as image analysis, computed tomographic methods, centrifuge tests, advanced numerical modelling, sophisticated physical modelling, and machine learning methods. The investigation domain has also been extended to a much broader scope, including geothermal systems, offshore turbines and pipelines, extraterrestrial investigation and construction.
As the Guest Editors for the Special Issue “New Advances in Soil-Structure Systems”, we cordially invite you to submit your up-to-date articles related to this topic including, but not limited to, the following aspects:
- State-of-the-art review of the performance of the soil-structure system for specific cases;
- Laboratory test on the soil-structure interactions, including interface behaviours;
- Physical modelling and field test on the performance of soil-structure systems;
- Numerical modelling of the performance of soil-structure systems;
- Theoretical analysis of the performance of soil-structure systems;
- Machine learning applications on the performance of soil-structure systems.

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. Buildings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
