The book "Hydrotechnical structures on roads" by Valery A. Bolshakov and A. A. Uginchusa is a unique teaching aid that will become an indispensable assistant for students of the specialty "Roads" in universities. This publication immerses the reader in the world of hydraulic structures, which play a key role in ensuring the safety and functionality of road infrastructure. From the first pages, the authors set a tone that combines scientific rigor and practical focus. The book covers a wide range of topics, ranging from the design and construction of hydraulic structures such as bridges, dams and canals, to their operation and maintenance. Each section is riddled with relevant examples and illustrations, which makes the material accessible and understandable even for those who are just starting their way in this complex but fascinating area. For whom is this manual intended? First of all, it will be useful for students of technical universities studying in the specialty "Roads", as well as graduate students and young professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge in the field of design and operation of road infrastructure . However, the book may also be of interest to practicing engineers and designers who are looking for fresh ideas and approaches to solving actual problems in their professional activities. The topics raised in the book cover not only technical aspects, but also environmental, economic and social factors affecting the design of hydraulic structures. The authors emphasize the importance of sustainable development and environmental protection, which makes the book especially relevant in the face of modern challenges associated with climate change and increased traffic flows. The reader will be able to see how competent design can minimize the negative impact on nature and improve road safety. The style of the authors is distinguished by clarity and logical presentation, which makes it easy to assimilate even the most complex concepts. Valery Alekseevich Bolshakov, known for his work in the field of road construction and design, and A. A. Uginchus, who has extensive experience in hydraulic engineering, create a synergistic effect that makes this manual not only informative, but also inspiring. Their previous works have already won recognition among specialists, and this publication continues this tradition, offering readers high-quality and relevant content. The book “Hydrotechnical structures on roads” will be a useful resource for anyone interested in the design and construction of roads It may provide a basis for further study of narrower topics in hydraulic engineering and road construction, such as “Bridge design” or “Environmental aspects of road construction”. Readers looking for information on such queries as “hydrotechnical structures”, “road infrastructure” or “road design” will find in this guide answers to their questions and useful recommendations. Thus, the book of Bolshakov and Uginchus is not just a textbook, but a whole world of knowledge that will open new horizons for students and specialists in the field of road construction. It inspires new ideas and solutions that will help create safe and efficient transport systems of the future.
