This book systematically and comprehensively expounds the calculation theory, design method and engineering application of CWR turnout on bridges on high-speed railway. This book applies the concept of systems engineering and considers the vehicle-turnout-bridge as a coupled system. It combines static analysis, dynamic simulation, laboratory tests, and field tests, integrating theoretical research with practical engineering applications. The book solves critical technical puzzles such as constitutive relationships in force transfer mechanisms and interactions between turnouts and bridges,...
