Abstract
The new 277 km Fuzhou–Xiamen high-speed railway in China is the country’s first cross-sea railway designed for operational speeds of 350 km/h. Completed in 2023, it involved various advanced construction technologies, including the world’s first 1000 t bridge-building machine to be used offshore, advanced corrosion-resistant steel, pioneering rotation of a main bridge pylon, and aerodynamic steel–concrete composite bridge decks with ballastless tracks. The innovative project represents a milestone for China’s high-speed railway, heralding a new era of cross-sea transportation.
期刊介绍:
Civil Engineering, listed by the Web of Science, is the ICE''s flagship journal. Practical and diverse in its scope, it publishes overview papers for the non-specialist on any subject relevant to civil engineering today. Topics range from landmark projects to philosophical, ethical, environmental, management and safety issues.
Peer review, copyediting, and colour publication by Civil Engineering are free. If accepted, published papers are easily found by Google search, as well as in specialist citation indexes. There is also the option of making your article open access, should you wish to.
Published authors receive a free electronic copy of their article to share with their peers. Furthermore, as well exposure to ICE''s 91,000-strong membership, published papers are promoted via our social media channels, accessing the wider civil engineering community.
It is free to submit a paper to this journal. Papers appear Ahead of Print (below) as soon as they are ready to be published. Ahead of print articles are fully citable. using the DOI system
