DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF AERIAL STRUCTURES OF THE WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN AREA TRANSIT SYSTEM

The automated Washington, D.C. area Metro system currently under construction features precast, prestressed; cast-in-place box design; and steel with concrete deck aerial guideways. Both single and double track structures are being constructed with various length spans. The general features, basic and special design considerations, and rail-structure interaction of this 101-mile (163 km) system are discussed. (Author)
