The tests were carried out on the Meizhou Bay cross-sea bridge, which is one of the major parts of the 277-km Fuzhou-Xiamen high-speed railway.
The CR450 science and technology innovation project is one of the key national science programs outlined in China's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), China Railway said. A massive amount of research, simulating calculations and tests are required to pave the way for developing the next generation bullet trains.
China Railway conducted a total of 57 scientific experiments to verify the reliability and feasibility of the new technologies adopted on CR450.
