Methodology of Highway Engineering Structural Design and Construction

This book mainly studies the methodologies of structural design and constructionfor highway engineering, whichare applicable to the overall control and the precise operationof engineering structures.Itexplores the method of comprehensive analysis, the simplification of complex problems, and the application of typical engineeringtools.In turn, the book presents a number of innovative approaches, e.g. thecoordinated control of structural deformation method, the theory of underground engineering balance and stability, and the soft soil foundation treatment of "bumping at the bridgehead."These methodologies are then illustrated in typical cases and representativeproblems, explained fromapracticalstandpoint. Examples in specialsettingsare also discussed,e.g.highway construction in Tibet,and rebuilding after theWenchuan earthquake. The bookoffers a valuable reference guideforall those whose work involveshighway engineering design, construction, management, and scientific research.
