A certain overpass railway bridge was composed of a(82.5+82.5)m full width prestressed con-crete variable height T-shaped box girder,with a single-sided swivel cantilever length of 77m,a bridge deck width of 25m~31.52m,and a designed swivel tonnage of 26000 tons.To balance the longitudinal and trans-verse unbalanced weight caused by asymmetric width,asymmetric design was adopted for the thickness of the left and right main span web plates and the transverse bulkhead;To meet the requirements of the construction period,the rotating cantilever was designed with three large segments;The stress analysis of the rotating struc-ture was simulated in response to unbalanced bending moments such as wind loads during the construction peri-od.The feasibility of the structure was verified through construction and structural analysis.All performance in-dicators of the structure meet the requirements of the specifications,and the bridge generated good social and economic benefits in practical engineering applications.It can provide reference for similar rotation schemes.
