Earth and Environmental Sciences: Advances and Frontiers in Modeling, Assessment, and Mitigation of Geotechnical Problems

Macro- and micro-geotechnical mechanics can essentially explore the mechanisms of complex properties of geotechnical materials, establish their multi-scale analysis theories and methods, and help solve difficult and key problems in slope engineering. Many new numerical methods have emerged in response to the characteristics of slope engineering. It is necessary to establish a highly efficient method for multi-field and multi-process coupling calculations applicable to various slope engineering problems. Meanwhile, the cross-integration of macro- and micro-geotechnical mechanics with other disciplines not only contributes to the self-development of macro- and micro-geotechnical mechanics but also promotes the rapid development of other disciplines.

This Topical Collection aims to explore the mechanisms and control of various slope engineering problems. We welcome submissions of original research and review articles addressing theoretical derivations, field investigations, laboratory tests, and numerical and physical modeling. Potential topics include, but are not limited to the following: (1) Design, construction, operation, and maintenance technology for slope engineering. (2) Advanced methods for monitoring disaster processes in slope engineering. (3) Progress of analysis and simulation techniques for landslide disasters. (4) Macroscopic and microscopic damage behaviour of the slope-tunnel system. (5) Dynamic response and failure mechanism of slope under multi-field coupling.
