Features: The book is divided into twelve chapters, primarily introducing the basic concepts and methods related to subgrade and pavement design, construction, and management. The content includes general subgrade design, retaining wall design, subgrade construction, traffic loads and pavement structural design parameters, crushed stone pavement, inorganic binder-stabilized base, asphalt pavement and its structural design, cement concrete pavement and its structural design, as well as pavement construction and maintenance management. During the writing process, the author strives to align with the fundamental teaching stages and requirements of the subgrade and pavement engineering course, emphasizing the introduction of relevant basic theories, concepts, and methods to help readers solidify their foundation and broaden their perspectives. This book can serve as a textbook for civil engineering majors (road and bridge engineering) or other related disciplines in higher education institutions. It is suitable for both undergraduate and vocational teaching, as well as for correspondence education, vocational colleges, distance learning, self-study exams, and various training programs. It can also be referenced by relevant technical personnel.
The book consists of twelve chapters, primarily covering the basic concepts and methods related to subgrade and pavement design, construction, and management. The content includes general subgrade design, retaining wall design, subgrade construction, traffic loads and pavement structural design parameters, crushed (gravel) pavement, inorganic binder-stabilized base, asphalt pavement and its structural design, cement concrete pavement and its structural design, as well as pavement construction and maintenance management. As a specialized textbook for road and bridge engineering in higher education institutions, the authors, drawing on years of teaching and research experience, strive to align with the fundamental teaching stages and requirements of subgrade and pavement engineering, emphasizing the introduction of relevant basic theories, concepts, and methods to help readers solidify their foundation and broaden their perspectives. During the writing process, the book appropriately introduces the latest trends in subgrade and pavement engineering structures, materials, and technologies. Additionally, learning objectives and teaching requirements are clearly provided at the beginning of each chapter to facilitate students' learning and comprehension. This book can serve as a textbook for civil engineering majors (road and bridge engineering) or other related disciplines in higher education institutions. It is suitable for both undergraduate and vocational teaching, as well as for correspondence education, vocational colleges, distance learning, self-study exams, and various training programs.
