The ocean is the cradle of life and is rich in natural resources. With the worldwide boom in exploration and application of ocean resources, a dramatically increasing amount of coastal engineering and offshore engineering facilities have been constructed in the last few decades. The rapid development of human economic activities and the global climate change have significant impacts on the marine environment, resulting in frequent geological disasters. Under this circumstance, there is an urgent demand for a platform for scientists and engineers to share their state-of-art research outcomes in the field of Marine Engineering Geology. This book is a collection of a series of articles from the 2nd International Symposium of Marine Engineering Geology (ISMEG 2019), presenting some of the recent efforts made towards marine engineering geology and geotechnics, including theoretical advances, laboratory and field testing, design methods, and the potential for further development of these disciplines.

Implementing environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions is a pressing need to fulfill the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set to be achieved by 2030. Thus, the requirement to execute the design, construction and maintenance of civil engineering structures and infrastructures as sustainably as possible are big challenges currently faced by civil and geotechnical engineers. This book, compiling the papers published during the 2020–2021 biennium in the Topical Collection, “Sustainability in Geotechnics: The Use of Environmentally Friendly Materials”, is intended help tackle those challenges. Several topics are covered by the 23 papers published herein, including: sustainable ground improvement techniques; replacement of raw materials such as soils and aggregates by recycled materials; soil reinforcement with alternative materials; sustainable solutions using geosynthetics; low-carbon solutions for stabilization of contaminated soils; and bioengineering techniques to prevent soil erosion. The Guest Editor expects that this book can be very useful towards the achievement of more environmentally friendly solutions, in particular in the field of geotechnical engineering.

Technology: general issues --- History of engineering & technology --- low carbon materials --- heavy metal immobilization --- sustainable remediation --- environmentally friendly materials --- sustainability in geotechnics --- recycled construction and demolition materials --- geogrids --- pullout behaviour --- pullout test parameters --- cement --- lime --- copper slag --- strength --- durability --- microstructure --- eCO2 --- embodied energy --- soda residue --- fly ash --- field test --- laboratory test --- mechanical property --- gypsum --- liners --- pavements --- PROMETHEE --- heavy metals --- soil --- enzyme solutions --- desorption --- extractant --- bioengineering techniques --- vegetative cover index --- slope’s superficial erosion --- phytosanitary aspects --- climatological conditions --- geosynthetics --- geotextile tubes --- sludge --- dewatering --- total solids --- polymer dosing --- response surface --- geomembrane --- HDPE --- thermal analysis --- sewage --- leachate --- incinerator bottom ash --- geotextiles --- mechanical damage --- sustainable engineering --- waste valorization --- soil improvement --- polypropylene strips --- geotechnical properties --- sustainable reuse of plastic waste --- recycled pet strips --- lateritic soil --- composite --- uniaxial tests --- shear strength --- small-strain stiffness --- ground improvement --- ground remediation --- local strain --- triaxial test --- geopolymer --- soil stabilization --- expansive soils --- sustainability benefits --- sustainable ground improvement --- oil-contaminated soils --- geotextile–polynorbornene liner --- pollutant adsorption --- diffusion --- permeability alteration --- microbial induced carbonate precipitation --- life cycle assessment --- energy consumption --- carbon emissions --- fine-grained soil --- tire-derived aggregate --- optimum moisture content --- maximum dry unit weight --- Bland–Altman analysis --- geogrid --- recycled materials --- interface shear strength --- large-direct shear test --- base course reinforcement --- pavement geotechnics --- recycled aluminum salt slag --- resilient modulus --- leachate analysis --- soil–cement --- recycled waste --- fatigue life --- subgrade --- compressive strength --- geogrid-reinforced soil structure --- substitute building material --- recycled material --- green infrastructure --- polypropylene fibers --- drained test --- stress–dilatancy --- wastes --- tires --- CDW --- PET bottles --- sustainability in geotechnical engineering --- sustainable ground remediation --- geopolymers
