Purpose

Conventional high-speed railways (HSR) subgrade design methods remain constrained by platform-dependent drafting systems, leading to data interaction hindrances and redundant design processes. This study strives to develop a digital earthwork design methodology that enhances design while reducing collaborative expenses.

Design/methodology/approach

A novel digital subgrade design approach, utilizing sophisticated analysis and modeling tools customized for different subgrade elements, is put forward in this study. The methodology incorporates the following essential steps: (1) the advancement of digital analysis and modeling techniques for diverse subgrade components, including surfaces, filling, slopes, retaining structures, and foundation treatments; (2) the formulation of a digital design principle repository incorporating various slope protection combinations; (3) the establishment of a comprehensive digital design framework and process for subgrade cross-sections; and (4) the development and implementation of an open-source digital design system.

Findings

The proposed method liberates subgrade design from the constraints of conventional drawing platforms, elevating efficiency, intelligence, and flexibility. The open software architecture and code have achieved over 60% efficiency gains in design workflows during its deployment on three major high-speed rail projects: the Baotou-Yinchuan HSR corridor, Shenyang-Baihe HSR network, and Weifang-Yantai HSR system.

Originality/value

This paper introduces an innovative digital design methodology that enables modular and parametric design for railway subgrade sections. The proposed approach provides a digital base for the intelligent design and maintenance of the next-generation high-speed railway.
