Abstract

Highway water damage refers to severe natural disasters where transportation infrastructure such as roads and bridges are damaged by heavy rain or floods. Approximately two-thirds of China’s land is threatened by highway water damage each year, resulting in significant economic losses. Disaster prevention and mitigation for highway water damage are crucial aspects of highway construction and maintenance. However, the disaster management strategies are often not well-targeted, and there is a lack of corresponding emergency repair technologies. Therefore, it is essential to effectively categorize types of highway water damage, conduct in-depth research on their destruction mechanisms based on hydraulics, sediment dynamics, and fluid mechanics, and develop emergency repair technologies. In a broad sense, highway water damage refers to a series of engineering damage phenomena occurring along highways under the influence of climate, hydrology, geological factors, and human activities, with water not being the only cause.
