Abstract

This chapter discusses the spatial distribution of the Kunlun Mountain, Bengcuo, and Yambajan–Damxung–Gulu seismotectonic zones and explains the relationship between active faults and earthquakes, which can severely damage railway structures. The line selection and engineering properties of the Qinghai–Tibet Railway in high-intensity earthquake zones and active fault zones are implemented not only as per the geological-engineering line-selection principles for high-earthquake-intensity regions but also considering the railway safety, reliability, and cost.
