TENTATIVE SERVICE REQUIREMENTS FOR BRIDGE RAIL SERVICES
THE LIMITED RESEARCH HAS DEVELOPED A TENTATIVE LIST OF SERVICE REQUIREMENTS FOR BRIDGE RAILINGS, A RATIONAL TECHNIQUE FOR ESTIMATING THE MAGNITUDE OF COLLISION FORCES BASED UPON VEHICLE DAMAGE, CRITIERIA FOR ESTABLISHING TOLERABLE LIMITS OF VEHICLE DECELERATION, AND AN ANALYTIC TECHNIQUE FOR PREDICTING DYNAMIC LOADS ON BRIDGE RAILS-ALL OF WHICH CAN BE USED BY ENGINEERS TO EVALUATE CURRENT AND FUTURE DESIGNS.
