Abstract:

Due to its longest mileage under construction as well as the highest technical standards, Wuhan-Guangzhou passenger railway line, with full length of 968 km as well as the speed of 350 km/h, is one of most significant high-speed railway project in China now. Began in June 2005, the Wuhan-Guangzhou passenger line is expected to operation in 2009, since several large bridges projects are near to completion. The sustainability of bridge cannot be neglected in this great railway project. Compared to general railway bridge, high-speed railway bridge will cover the majority mileage of line. Based on the analysis of these bridges in Wuhan-Guangzhou passenger line, the paper gives general condition of the high-speed railway bridges in China. Moreover, numerous technical features of these bridges has been introduced at the same time, such as design standards, building material, design loads, type selection, deck layout, etc.
