Special Issue: Geosynthetics in Mining

This Special Issue intends to high-quality papers with relevant advances in the knowledge about the application of geosynthetics in mining activities, including design conception, modeling, construction procedures, developments in laboratory and field-testing, installation damage, and the effect of tailings on the long-term behaviour of geosynthetics. Case studies on the geosynthetic applications in mining are also desired, such as tailings dams, tailings piles, and tailings ponds. This special issue welcomes all types of contributions to address current challenges in mining activities, ranging from fundamental research to practical implementations. All the submitted papers for possible publication will go through a regular review process via the journal online editorial manager, and only the ones that pass the reviews will be accepted for publication.
