Features: This book is a professional textbook used in universities for civil engineering majors in the fields of tunnel and underground engineering, bridge engineering, and highway and urban road engineering. It can also serve as a reference for engineering professionals in design and construction, as well as for highway tunnel management personnel and tunnel traffic engineering management personnel. The book is divided into two volumes. The first volume covers the fundamentals and special topics. Part I (Introduction, Chapters 1–3) is the general overview, primarily describing the overall design principles of highway tunnels. Part II (Chapters 4–6) focuses on mountain highway tunnels, covering load and structural calculations. Part III (Chapters 7–13) discusses the design and quality control of shotcrete support, introducing the support philosophy of the New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM) and the design theory, methods, and practices of shotcrete support and prestressed shotcrete support. Part IV (Chapters 14–17) covers the design and construction of vertical shafts, systematically introducing conventional design and construction methods for vertical shafts. Part V (Chapters 18–19) focuses on the design and construction of waterproofing and drainage for highway tunnels, systematically outlining Qiao Shaoshan's design methods and construction techniques for mountain tunnel waterproofing and drainage. Part VI (Chapters 20–21) covers the operation ventilation and lighting of highway tunnels, systematically describing the design theory and methods of ventilation and lighting. Part VII (Chapters 22–29) introduces highway tunnel traffic engineering facilities, covering the composition and operational methods of highway tunnel management systems. The book is divided into seven parts and includes twenty-nine chapters. The second volume covers mining method construction, New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM) construction, special method construction, and soft soil tunneling.
