Features: This manual is a supplementary revision based on the previous edition, incorporating the newly issued technical standards and specifications for highway engineering by the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China, as well as new experiences in highway subgrade design in China over the past decade. The content of the manual includes: general subgrades, subgrade drainage, subgrade protection, special subgrade design, gravity retaining walls, reinforced earth retaining walls, reinforced concrete cantilever, counterfort, anchorage plate, and anchor retaining walls, along with design and calculation examples. The manual places special emphasis on listing new technologies, new materials, and new processes that have emerged in the development of high-grade highway subgrade design in China. The features of this manual are systematic, highly practical, rich in charts and tables, comprehensive in data, and user-friendly. This manual serves as a reference tool for highway engineering technicians, can also be used as teaching material for training highway engineering technicians, and is also suitable for engineering technicians engaged in urban road, forest road, and industrial and mining road construction, as well as students and faculty of highway-related disciplines in universities and colleges.
