1. After impact assessment requires quantification of the damage in terms of serviceability. 2. Description of damage caused by truck collisions can inform owners of the consequences. 3. Amount of lateral damage may not affect the vertical displacements. Railroad bridges are robust. 4. However, amount of deformation may cause derailment. 5. Bearings may yield even at slower impact speeds. 6. Experimental work and additional parametric simulations will be conducted (Summer 2017).
