Abstract This book provides a comprehensive exposition on the design, construction, monitoring, and maintenance of subgrade and pavement engineering for highways and urban roads. The book is divided into six parts:
Part 1 introduces an overview of subgrade and pavement engineering;
Part 2 analyzes the various factors influencing the characteristics of subgrade and pavement structures;
Part 3 covers subgrade design (including general subgrades, soft soil subgrades, stability analysis, and retaining walls);
Part 4 elaborates on the theories and methods of flexible pavement and cement concrete pavement structural design;
Part 5 discusses the material composition and construction techniques of subgrades, subgrade layers, and surface layers;
Part 6 introduces the monitoring and evaluation of pavement performance as well as maintenance techniques.
This book can serve as a textbook for students in highway and urban road engineering and transportation engineering programs at universities and colleges. It can also be used as a teaching reference for graduate students in related fields, and as a reference for technical personnel engaged in subgrade and pavement engineering.
