Located in the center of Chongqing City, both Dongshuimen Yangtze River Bridge and Qiansimen Jianling River Bridge are cable-stayed bridges and are designed to allow for dual highway and rail traffic. To better meet the bridges' stiffness requirements, a comparison study is carried out between resin composite sleeper and ballasted track in their structural characteristics as well as their performance on construction, maintenance, operation, cost effectiveness and environmental impact. Analytical results show that resin composite sleeper functions properly when applied to these bridges. This study provides valuable references to design of long-span rail bridges, especially when reduction of superimposed dead load becomes desirable.
