[0002] Railways, including the roadbed and tracks, are the foundation for train operation. Tracks typically consist of rails, sleepers, and ballast. Advantages of railways include: large capacity: they can transport large numbers of passengers and goods simultaneously; a single train can carry thousands of tons of cargo or hundreds of passengers. Low energy consumption: compared to transportation methods like automobiles and airplanes, railway transportation consumes less energy per unit. Less pollution: electrically powered railway transportation causes less environmental pollution; even diesel locomotives emit relatively few pollutants. High safety: railway transportation has a comprehensive signaling system and safety management regulations, ensuring relatively safe and stable operation.

[0003] To ensure the safe, smooth, and comfortable operation of high-speed trains, the transition between the roadbed and bridges, tunnels, and transverse structures of high-speed railways must be safe and reliable. When the transition section between the roadbed and bridge is located on soft ground and the surrounding area is limited, a suitable structural design that can adapt to the foundation and the surrounding environment is urgently needed.
