Steels for Bridge Structures

Metallurgist, 2020
We consider domestic and foreign standards for rolled metals used in bridge building. Domestic standards contain elevated requirements to the reliability of rolled metals in terms of their fracture resistance by delamination. Foreign standards admit the application of rolled metals in broader strength ranges but do not contain obligatory requirements ...

Enhancing Steel Bridges Through AASHTO/NSBA Steel Bridge Collaboration

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2000
AASHTO and the National Steel Bridge Alliance (NSBA) have a joint effort under way to enhance the quality and value of steel bridge design and construction in the United States. Under this effort, known as the AASHTO/NSBA Collaboration, representatives of the state departments of transportation, FHWA, steel and construction industries, design ...

Steel bridges

Progress in Structural Engineering and Materials, 1997
AbstractWith recent developments, structural engineers are realizing that the quality of their structures is not only bound by economics, function and feasibility, but also aesthetics. The special quality of steel to allow high forces in very slender members is able to meet these new aesthetic requirements.Tough economic competition between the ...

Steel selection for UBC steel bridge

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2018
This report conducts a material selection of different types of steel for UBC Steel Bridge Team. I am a third-year material engineering student, so the result from this material selection can only be taken into consideration but not fully adopted. As part of my academic journey, it is possible for technical mistakes in this material selection process ...

Collapse of Steel Bridges

Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities, 2007
The study concerns bridge collapses focusing on metal structures. It is based on literature and news research, due to the lack of extensive compendiums of this unpleasing but important topic. At first, a short overview of the occidental history of metal bridges is given presenting the historic context for the described incidents.

A Climbing Robot for Steel Bridge Inspection

Journal of Intelligent & Robotic Systems, 2021
As an effort of automating the bridge inspection process, this paper presents a new development of an adaptable tank-like robot, which can climb on steel structures to collect data and perform inspection. While most current steel climbing mobile robots are designed to work on flat steel surface, our proposed tank-like robot design is capable of ...

THE PAINTING OF STEEL BRIDGES.

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Transport, 1996
Steel bridges are painted principally to inhibit corrosion. Factors affecting corrosion rate and the basic functions of coatings are reviewed. The development of coatings from early bitumens to present day two-pack materials is outlined, including the use of metallic coatings. Comparison is made with other methods of protection.

Weathering steel bridges

Bridge Engineering, 2003
Weathering steel is a high-strength, low-alloy steel that in suitable environments forms an adherent protective rust ‘patina', to inhibit further corrosion. The corrosion rate is so low that bridges fabricated from unpainted weathering steel can achieve a 120-year design life with only nominal maintenance. Hence a well-detailed weathering steel bridge

Nickel Steel for Bridges

Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, 1909
In November, 1903, the writer began a series of experiments, upon the comparative values of nickel steel and carbon steel for bridge building, for the purpose of preparing from them an exhaustive e...

Soil-Steel Bridges

2015
A soil-steel bridge is a structure made with a shell of manufactured curved corrugated steel plates and an envelope of engineered soil, which is well-compacted backfill composed mainly of well-graded granular soil. A photograph of a soil-steel bridge serving as a grade-separation structure is presented in Fig. 7.1.
