[0002] The permafrost region of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is characterized by a harsh environment, characterized by high temperatures, high ice content, and highly unstable permafrost, accounting for a significant proportion (over 50%). This, coupled with the region's variable climate, frequent freeze-thaw cycles, intense radiation, and large diurnal temperature swings, makes the permafrost extremely sensitive to disturbances caused by road construction, leading to frequent thaw subsidence and other problems. Coastal areas experience high temperatures, high humidity, torrential rain, strong winds, and a highly corrosive environment, combined with heavy loads, fatigue, and extreme hazards. These conditions lead to a high incidence of road engineering problems, including frequent collapses. The combined effects of these extreme conditions and heavy loads reduce the resilience and service life of road structures, leading to frequent disasters and posing a serious threat to driving safety. Therefore, research on road performance under the coupled effects of extreme environments and loads is necessary to improve the engineering construction and maintenance, safety resilience, service life, intelligence, and greenness of road structures.
