Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid growth of the economy and the acceleration of urbanization, the advances and applications in the exploration, design, construction and operation of geotechnical and structural engineering have achieved great progress during the integrated development and utilization of aboveground and underground space in China. As is widely known, geotechnical engineering is the vanguard of structural engineering, and vice versa, structural engineering is the inspector of geotechnical engineering.
This Special Issue of Buildings is based on the two domains mentioned in the title, “Advances and Applications in Geotechnical and Structural Engineering”, and will accept the submission of manuscripts covering different topics, from fundamental research to more applied exploratory and integrated case studies. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Mechanical properties, failure mechanisms and modelling of rock, soil and structures, including various kinds of dynamic and static characteristics analysis;
- Innovative intelligence algorithms and machine learning methods for solving engineering problems in geotechnical and structural engineering, for example, BIM, ANN, etc.;
- New reinforcement techniques, instability disaster warning and prevention countermeasures for important engineering challenges—for example, innovative materials, microseismic monitoring for rock burst, MICP (EICP), etc.;
- Safe, efficient and intelligent underground construction techniques for deep mixed grounds—for example, tunnel boring machines (TBM);
- Green and low-carbon construction and design approaches in all kinds of geotechnical and structural engineering—for example, disposal of solid wastes, 3D printing, etc.;
- Human-induced structural vibration, including analysis and design method, human-induced load modeling, crowd–structure interaction, vibration serviceability criteria;
- Geoenvironmental performance and modelling of recycled waste for construction and building materials.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
