Features: The construction team of the Sixian-Guixi Expressway, in order to maximize the protection of the ecological environment and complete the project as scheduled, built it into a high-standard modern ecological expressway according to the construction standard of "harmonious development between humans and nature." They invited renowned domestic experts and professors to actively carry out scientific research and explore suitable construction techniques for expressways in tropical rainforest areas, specifically implementing the concept of "minimal destruction and maximum protection" in road ecological construction. This collection of essays is the main outcome of these discussions. The articles in the book either elaborate on the scientific research results of the Sixian-Guixi Expressway from different perspectives, share experiences in applying research findings in practice, or summarize experiences in construction and management. The content is rich and unique, and it also holds direct reference value for road construction in non-tropical rainforest regions. The Sixian-Guixi Expressway, passing through the tropical rainforest and crossing protected areas, was built according to the standard of harmonious development between humans and nature. During the construction process, personnel involved in construction, design, and research combined practical engineering realities to write numerous papers. This collection selects and compiles some of these articles. Based on the content of the papers, it is divided into sections such as Reviews, Ecology, Roads, Bridges, Tunnels, and Others. Most of the articles in the book revolve around the themes of "human-centeredness, minimal destruction, and maximizing protection."
