Mathematical and numericalmodeling is amature yet vibrant research area in geotechnical engineering. Its advancement has been accelerated in recent years by many emerging computational techniques aswell as the increasing availability of computational power. A wide spectrum of approaches, on the basis of continuously advancing understanding of soil behavior, has been developed and applied to solve various problems in geotechnical engineering. These methods are increasingly playing important roles not only in achieving better understanding of fundamental behavior of geomaterials and geostructures but also in ensuring the safety and sustainability of large-scale complex geoengineering projects. The aim of this special issue is to present original research articles on mathematical and numerical modeling in geotechnical engineering. A total of 26 high-quality peerreviewed papers were selected to be published in this special issue. The topics cover various aspects as follows.
