Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of highway tunnels, high-speed rail tunnels, subway tunnels, etc., more complex tunneling and underground engineering projects come into appearing, and the trend of low-carbon ecology in underground engineering construction is becoming increasingly prominent. Meanwhile, the disease occurring in tunnel operation is becoming increasingly serious. As these problems continue to increase, it is urgent to adopt new technologies, new methods, and new materials to drive the sustainable development of tunnel and underground engineering. Hence, this Special Issue, entitled “Technological Innovation for Sustainable Tunneling and Underground Engineering”, presents the results of research and implementation in this area, with the aim of facilitating the application and promotion of advanced sustainable technologies in tunnel engineering.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Green construction of tunnels;
- New materials and solid waste utilization in underground engineering;
- Underground space environments;
- Waterproof and drainage design of underground spaces;
- Resource utilization of underground construction waste;
- Stability control of underground engineering under complex geological conditions;
- Intelligent control technology;
- Intelligent early warning;
- Intelligent monitoring;
- Disaster prediction;
- Physical and mental health of construction personnel;
- Efficient and energy-saving support technology;
- Green construction and operation technology.
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.
