This book describes the second phase of the Qinghai-Tibetan railway
construction project and is the first technological book discussing
the geological routing of the Qinghai-Tibetan railway project on
the "roof of the world." Based on practical experience of railway
construction work, it provides a substantial number of examples
with detailed descriptions and conclusions. The complex geological
environment of the Qinghai-Tibetan railway as well as the selection
and optimization of the route are illustrated vividly and clearly
with quotes, figures, photos, and tables. Connecting Golmud and
Lhasa, it has a total length of 1142 km and at the Tanggula Pass
has an altitude of 5072m-higher than any other in the world. A 960
km section is on a plateau at altitudes above 4000 m, and 550 km
are in the permafrost region, making it the world's longest and
highest railway in the permafrost plateau region. The book is a
model for the integration of theory and practice, making it a
valuable reference source for civil engineering professionals
working in geological routing in permafrost plateau regions, active
fault zones, meizoseismal areas, nature reserves, and regions with
geohazards such as steep slopes, sand and snow drifts and
geothermal hazards.
