Features: This book is divided into two main parts—Engineering Geology and Bridge and Culvert Hydrology—with a total of fourteen chapters. Part 1: Engineering Geology primarily introduces rocks and their engineering geological properties, geological structures, landforms, Quaternary geology, physical geological processes and phenomena, groundwater, rock mass structure and stability analysis, highway engineering geology problems, and highway engineering geological investigation. Part 2: Bridge and Culvert Hydrology mainly includes fundamental knowledge of hydraulics, basic knowledge of river basin hydrology, highway bridge and culvert layout, determination of design flow rates for inland bridges, calculation of openings for medium and large bridges, and scour calculation in bridge sections. This book emphasizes the integration of teaching, research, and production, adhering to the principles of practicality and sufficiency while highlighting the characteristics of vocational education. The content is rich, illustrated with diagrams, easy to understand, progressive, and focused on key points. It is also supported by multimedia teaching software for engineering geology and hydrology skill training (to be published) to facilitate both instructor-led teaching and self-study for students. This book can serve as a textbook for vocational and technical college majors such as Road and Bridge Engineering Technology, Highway and Urban Road Engineering, Highway Supervision, and High-Grade Highway Maintenance and Management. It is also a valuable reference for engineering construction surveyors, designers, constructors, supervisors, experimental technicians, testing personnel, and researchers.
