Abstract:
Describes design and construction of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) system, focusing on notable examples of concrete use in aerial structures, stations, special applications, and artwork. Special design solutions are described, such as using through-girders to achieve the necessary vertical clearance over a main line aerial track under an airport flight path. 332-293
