Features: This book consists of two parts. The first part is an introduction to road engineering; the second part is an introduction to bridge engineering. The introduction to road engineering primarily introduces the basic knowledge of transportation and road engineering, systematically and concisely elaborates on road route design, route intersections, and road traffic facilities, as well as the basic concepts and components of subgrade and pavement engineering and expressways, along with their design theories, methods, and construction techniques. The introduction to bridge engineering primarily introduces the development, classification, and composition of bridge engineering, as well as the planning and design procedures. It is divided into beam bridges, arch bridges, other types of bridges, and bridge pier and abutment systems, briefly elaborating on their main structures and design methods. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in civil engineering programs with a non-road and bridge engineering focus, or as a selective course textbook for non-civil engineering majors. It can also be used as a reference for engineering technicians engaged in road and bridge construction.
