Features: This textbook is designed to implement and comply with new standards and specifications such as the Highway Subgrade Design Specification (JTGD30-2004) and the Highway Tunnel Design Specification (JTGD70-2004). It is a uniquely structured geotechnical textbook for highway engineering, compiled by the author based on systematic summarization of 30 years of research and teaching achievements, with guidance from numerous renowned domestic experts. The book consists of an introduction and 10 chapters, covering the tasks and role of engineering geology in highway engineering, the genetic types and engineering geological characteristics of rocks, geological structures and engineering construction, the impact of external geological processes on engineering, landforms and highway engineering, rock mass structure and stability analysis, environmental engineering geology research, highway engineering geology survey and design, bridge engineering geology survey and design, tunnel engineering geology survey and design, and the survey, construction, and treatment of special geological issues. It emphasizes the investigation, design, and treatment techniques of environmental engineering geological problems related to mountainous expressway construction, such as deep cuts, high slopes, bridge foundations, tunnels, and special soils. Combined with case studies, it enhances students' ability to analyze and solve problems through extensive engineering examples. The book is rich in content and highly practical, closely integrating teaching, research, and production (supplemented by a Geotechnical Survey Skills Training Guide and Multimedia Teaching Software for Highway Engineering Geology). It reflects the latest research achievements. This textbook is suitable for university (including vocational college) civil engineering programs in highway and bridge engineering, highway and urban road engineering, municipal engineering, engineering supervision, tunnel engineering, and experimental testing. It is also a valuable reference for engineering geology survey, design, supervision, construction, testing, and research personnel, as well as civil engineering students and researchers.
