Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The sustainable development of green and efficient tunnels and underground engineering is a new challenge faced by the industry. On the one hand, advanced geotechnical engineering construction technology is the basic guarantee. The mechanical performance and service life of tunnels and underground engineering during the operation period are affected by factors such as material degradation, accidental destructive loading, environmental erosion, and design defects, resulting in various hidden dangers that affect safety and normal use. In severe cases, it will pose a serious threat to the safe operation of infrastructure and people's lives and property. On the other hand, intelligent monitoring technology is the key principle. Integrated tunnel and underground engineering monitoring systems of space have been basically constructed, but further improvement is needed in front-end perception, data analysis, and processing, and the promotion and application of new technologies need to be strengthened. With the continuous progress of monitoring technology and research, achieving dynamic perception, accurate prediction, and intelligent management and maintenance during operation in the future of these fields will play a greater role.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Construction technology and equipment for large section tunnels;
- New technology for tunnel blasting;
- Intelligent and mechanized tunnel construction technology;
- New monitoring and measurement technology for tunnels and underground engineering.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability 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.
