Advances in Numerical Computation and Mathematical Modelling for Geotechnical Engineering

The field of geotechnical engineering is experiencing a transformative period driven by the increasing complexity of in situ projects and the need for operations in challenging geological environments. As engineering activities extend into deeper strata and more complex geological conditions, practitioners face unprecedented challenges, including groundwater seepage control, dynamic rock mass failure analysis, geothermal effects on rock stability, and microseismic monitoring. These multifaceted problems demand sophisticated numerical computation, mathematical modeling, and engineering monitoring methodologies that can provide reliable solutions for analysis, evaluation, and design processes. The collection focuses on the development and application of cutting-edge numerical computation and modeling methods for geotechnical monitoring, analysis, and theoretical prediction. By assembling high-quality original research papers, comprehensive case studies, and innovative methodological contributions, this issue aims to bridge the gap between fundamental mathematical theories and practical computer-based applications in geotechnical engineering.
