Features: This textbook is a comprehensive guide that implements and adheres to new standards and specifications such as the Highway Subgrade Design Code (JTGD30-2004) and the Highway Tunnel Design Code (JTGD70-2004). It is the result of the author's systematic summarization of 30 years of research and teaching achievements, compiled with the guidance of numerous renowned domestic experts. This unique textbook on highway engineering geology consists of an introduction and 10 chapters, covering the tasks and role of engineering geology in highway projects, the genetic types and engineering geological characteristics of rocks, geological structures and engineering construction, the impact of external geological processes on engineering, landforms and highway engineering, rock mass structure and stability analysis, environmental engineering geology research, highway engineering geology investigation and design, bridge engineering geology investigation and design, tunnel engineering geology investigation and design, as well as the investigation, construction, and treatment of special geological issues. The book places special emphasis on the investigation, design, and treatment techniques of environmental engineering geological problems encountered in mountainous expressway construction, such as deep cuts, high slopes, bridge foundations, tunnels, and special soils. Through case studies, it enables students to enhance their problem-solving and analytical skills by learning from numerous engineering examples. The book is rich in content and highly practical, closely integrating teaching, research, and production (supplemented by an Engineering Geology Survey Skills Training Guide and Multimedia Teaching Software for Highway Engineering Geology). It reflects the latest research findings. This textbook is suitable for university (including vocational college) civil engineering programs in highway and bridge engineering, highway and urban road engineering, municipal engineering, engineering supervision, tunnel engineering, and experimental testing. It is also a valuable reference for engineering geology surveyors, designers, supervisors, constructors, experimental technicians, testing personnel, civil engineering students, and researchers.
