Features: Addressing some key issues and technical challenges in the current design and construction methods of highway tunnel structures, the author proposes the highway tunnel structure design and construction methods introduced in this book based on nearly 10 years of practical experience in tunnel engineering construction, which have been successfully applied in practice. The book includes an introduction and summary of the New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM), highway tunnel design methods and their classification, highway tunnel structure design methods and their classification, three construction methods for highway tunnel structures, reasonable cross-sectional drawings of highway tunnel linings, case studies, and numerical simulations of highway tunnel structure design and construction methods. The content of the book is organically integrated with current tunnel design and construction standards, inheriting the successful theories and experiences of previous highway tunnel structure design and construction methods while also creatively summarizing and developing these theories and construction methods. It holds great practical value and theoretical significance, making it a valuable reference for technical personnel engaged in tunnel structure research, design, construction, supervision, management, as well as all those interested in the renovation of existing highways and the construction of expressways.
