ACI 358.1R-1992 PDF

Scope: These recommendations are intended to provide public agencies@ consultants@ and other interested personnel with comprehensive criteria for the design and analysis of concrete guideways for public transit systems. They differ from those given for bridge design in ACI 343R@ AASHTO bridge specifications@ and the AREA manual of standard practice. The design criteria specifically recognize the unique features of concrete transit guideways@ namely@ guideway/vehicle interaction@ rail/structure interaction@ special fatigue requirements@ and esthetic requirements in urban areas. The criteria are based on current state-of-the-art practice for moderate-speed [up to 100 mph (160 km/h)] vehicles. The application of these criteria for advanced technologies other than those discussed in this report@ require an independent assessment. ACI 343R is referenced for specific items not covered in these recommendations. These references include materials@ construction considerations@ and segmental construction.
