From page 193...
... 193 C h a p t e r 5 This report has discussed technical details and requirements concerning bridges subjected to light rail transit loading and to both light rail and highway traffic loadings. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to understand the state of the art of rail bridges at large (published literature on light rail bridges was limited relative to that of bridges carrying conventional heavyhaul and high-speed trains)

... 194 proposed aaShtO LrFD Bridge Design Specifications for Light rail transit Loads Research Program • Five constructed light rail bridges in Denver, CO, were instrumented to monitor the behavior with an emphasis on in situ train loadings, girder strains, displacements, dynamic characteristics such as frequencies, and live load distributions. The occurrence of multiple presence of light rail trains was also examined.
