Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increase in natural hazards and human activities, the safety problems in geotechnical engineering are becoming more and more prominent. Slope support and foundation treatment are two important fields of geotechnical engineering. In recent years, some new materials and new technologies have been developed. Some of them are still in the research stage, and some have already been applied to engineering practice. The emergence of new materials and new technologies has promoted the development of slope and foundation reinforcement and has made those engineering projects safer, more economical, and even greener. The physical and mechanical properties need to be fully understood if a new material is to be employed, especially for their properties in the same environmental conditions as the actual project. In addition, the use of new materials and new technologies will also make the load–displacement behaviors and bearing performance of the supporting structure different from the conventional situation. Therefore, corresponding theoretical modeling and numerical simulation studies are necessary.
In this Special Issue of Buildings, titled “New Reinforcement Technologies Applied in Slope and Foundation”, authors are invited to submit high-quality original papers related to the properties of new materials, analyses for new technologies, numerical simulation, and construction practices. Relevant topics submitted for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following subjects:
- New geotechnical reinforcement materials;
- The mechanical behavior of geotechnical materials in complicated environments;
- New geotechnical reinforcement technology;
- Slope stability analysis;
- Foundation treatment;
- Soil–structure interactions;
- The bearing performance of ground anchors/soil nails;
- Composite foundation;
- The mechanical analysis model of reinforced structures;
- The performance optimization of geotechnical 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.
