About this Research Topic
Geotechnical engineering plays a pivotal role in shaping the foundations of our built environment. As the field continues to evolve, it is essential to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of emerging talents who are pushing the boundaries of innovation and knowledge and to recognise the future leaders of Geotechnical Engineering.
This Research Topic highlights the work of internationally recognised researchers in the early stages of their careers, showcasing their contributions to research and its implications for the future of the field of Geotechnical Engineering.
The collection presents the advances in theory, experiment, and methodology that these Rising Stars are contributing to areas such as:
• Natural, recycled, improved, and manufactured geomaterials, geosynthetics, and smart materials
• Geomaterial laboratory testing, field testing, and geotechnical sensing and monitoring technologies
• Geomechanics, geomaterial-structure interactions, advanced data analyses, numerical analyses, and artificial intelligence method
• Design, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation of structure and pavement foundations, earth structures, substructures, and underground space and its interaction with the environment
• Earthworks, ground improvement, and underground construction technologies including trenchless technology
• Geo-hazard/environmental impacts and mitigation and energy geotechnics
• Geotechnical asset management and sustainability assessment
All Rising Star researchers will be suggested by established Editors within our board in recognition of their influence on the future directions in their respective fields. While future innovations in Geotechnical Engineering are yet to be discovered, this Research Topic will give us a hint at whom to follow.
Submission guidelines
Please note, that contributions to the collection are by invitation only.
Contributors are invited to submit ‘Brief Research Report’ articles, limited to max of 4,000 words, 4 Figures/Tables.
