About this Research Topic
Investigation, monitoring, stability and risk assessment of Geohazards are fundamental areas of study within the field of engineering geology. Multi-scale study on indoor experiments of geohazards encompasses the investigation of soil and rock behavior under various loading or unloading conditions, while stability and risk of geohazards focuses on the assessment and mitigation of risks associated with unstable slopes. Investigation and monitoring of geohazards mainly emphasize the early identification, stability evaluation, prediction, warning, and prevention of geohazards. In recent years, there has been growing recognition of the importance of enhancing basic theory of geohazards.
Advances in experimental, analytical, and numerical techniques for characterizing and modeling geohazard evolution mechanism in this field are necessary. The issue seeks articles that address innovative approaches for analyzing slope stability, predicting failure mechanisms, designing effective stabilization measures, and assessing landslides risk. Additionally, we encourage research that explores various engineering geological problems throughout the entire lifecycle of geohazards, such as new protective materials for geohazards, eco-friendly slope stabilization methods, geotechnical aspects of renewable energy projects, or life cycle assessment of geotechnical works. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share their experiences, knowledge, and research outcomes in geomechanics, slope stability, and geohazards.
