    This paper deals with the weak asymptotic method to study the dynamics of propagation and interaction of shock waves for quasilinear equations in the one-dimensional case. Asymptotic solutions are given and the dynamics of the shock wave merging process is described. It is remarked that the method is also applicable for solving a similar problem in the case of systems of first-order quasilinear equations in one dimension. The paper may be of interest to someone interested in the problem of nonlinear wave interactions for quasilinear equations and systems.
