Abstract

This paper comprehensively explores the key technologies and their implementation in mountainous road rock engineering, particularly under complex geological conditions and environmental challenges. Initially, the paper analyzes the geological characteristics of rock bodies, including rock types and geological structures, and assesses the stability of these rock bodies based on these characteristics. Subsequently, it details current construction techniques such as anchoring, shotcreting, and support structures and discusses the use of green materials and the implementation of ecological restoration projects to minimize the impact on the mountainous ecosystem. Through the analysis of successful and unsuccessful engineering cases, the paper summarizes the key factors ensuring project success, as well as lessons learned from failures. Finally, the paper anticipates future technological trends in mountainous road rock engineering, emphasizing the importance of intelligent monitoring, ecological engineering, and new material technologies. This study aims to provide scientific guidance and reference for mountainous road rock engineering, striving for technological optimization and environmental sustainability.
