Abstract
- The Wufengshan Yangtze River Bridge, a thousand-meter scale high-speed railway suspension bridge, is located in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, China. The construction of the bridge surpasses the technological limits of the thousand-meter scale railway bridge. To accomplish this feat, a new type of plate-truss steel beam was adopted for the first time, along with a full penetration welding method employed between the U-rib and the top deck. These innovative methods fill the gaps in high-speed railway suspension bridge construction technology in China and the world. This paper describes the design method, calculation theory, and the corresponding technical standards of high-speed railway suspension bridges in China, which together provide the information necessary for the construction of the subsequent bridges.
