Abstract
Subgrade humidity has a significant impact on its stiffness, deformation, and other properties. The theoretical calculation method of humidity field has always been one of the key issues in road engineering as a research method to evaluate its evolution law and mechanism. This paper reviewed and summarized the control equation of subgrade humidity calculation, hydraulic characteristics of unsaturated subgrade soil, and influencing factors of humidity. It was found that there were few studies on the coupling effects of multiple fields and factors such as stress, seepage, vegetation, and atmosphere in the whole calculation method system. It is suggested to carry out such studies to accurately evaluate the subgrade humidity and the long-life design and practice of supporting road engineering.
