Synopsis The authors have been long engaged in the design, consultation and research of railways and in charge of the engineering consultation on many high-speed railways in China, including Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway and Wuhan-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Railway. This book was compiled on the basis of the systematic analysis and summary of China’s railway engineering consultation and in consideration of engineering consultation practices. The book is divided into five chapters, including Development and Technical Characteristics of Railways, Management of Railway Engineering Consultation, Methods for Railway Engineering Consultation, Key Points of Railway Engineering Consultation, and Cases of Railway Engineering Consultation. The book excels in excellent descriptions and illustrations, rich contents, as well as good pertinence and practicability, so it may be used as a reference for relevant personnel engaged in the management, design, consultation and construction of railways and for the teachers and students of universities.
