Figure 3
Two line graphs showing displacement profiles along high-speed rail corridors.The illustration contains two line graphs arranged vertically, each plotting displacement along a rail corridor. Both graphs have the vertical axis labeled “Displacement (meters)” and display two curves with circular markers: a blue curve labeled “2 percent in 50 years” and a black curve labeled “10 percent in 50 years”. Red star symbols mark “Fault Junction”. Gridlines are visible across the plots. In the upper graph, the horizontal axis labels show the locations “Kunming” on the left, “Shanghai–Kunming H S R” in the center, and “Qujing” on the right. The vertical axis ranges from 0.0 to 3.0 with an interval of 0.5 meters. The curves begin near 1.2 meters at the left, increase sharply to about 2.8 to 2.9 meters, and remain nearly flat across the middle portion where labels “H 1”, “H 2”, and “H 3” appear along the plateau. After the H 3 region, the values decrease gradually to around 2.2 meters, followed by a steep drop near the right side from about 2.0 meters to around 1.2 meters, and then another sharp drop to 0 meters, remaining near zero toward the far right near Qujing. Blue and black curves follow similar shapes with small differences in value. Red star markers appear near the plateau and slope sections. In the lower graph, the horizontal axis labels show “Mile” on the left, “Nanning–Kunming H S R” in the center, and “Kunming” on the right. The vertical axis ranges from 0.0 to 2.0 with an interval of 0.5 meters. The curves start near 0 meters at the far left and rise sharply to around 1.0 meter, then increase gradually to approximately 1.5 meters, where the label “N 3” appears. The curves continue upward to a peak around 2.0 to 2.1 meters near “N 2”. After the peak, the displacement declines to about 1.4 to 1.5 meters, where “N 1” is labeled, and then decreases slightly toward 1.2 meters near the right side. Blue and black curves follow similar trends, with the blue curve slightly higher near the peak. Red star markers appear at several points along the curves showing fault junction locations. Note: All numerical data values are approximated.
