However, adaptation of a steel rail system, similar to the Sydney, Australia monorail, could be modernized and applied to the bridge structures with expected high levels of performance regarding seismic and other dynamic and static loads and performance.

Advancement in monorail construction and technology have led to he production of monorail rolling stock vehicles that are of significantly lighter weight, in some cases 10% the weight of “light rail” vehicles, offering significant advantages to the adaptation of monorail systems to existing and future bridge spans, as well as other structures.

Is there any engineering study to integrate SF Bridge and Monorail? Have you carried out any engineering analysis about this aspect of the issue, such as dynamic response of the bridge structure due to new loads? If the answer is yes, ı would appreciate getting information regarding this subject.

Best regards,
