PROBLEMS IN FABRICATION AND ERECTION OF HIGH-STRENGTH STEELS

THE TYPES OF BRIDGE STRUCTURES ON WHICH HIGH-STRENGTH STEELS HAVE BEEN USED AND AN OUTLINE OF THE TYPES OF STEELS SUITABLE FOR HIGH-STRENGTH PURPOSES IS DISCUSSED. THE MAIN DIFFERENCES IN FABRICATION BETWEEN THESE STEELS AND ORDINARY CARBON STEEL ARE COVERED AND ALSO THE DIFFERENCES IN ERECTION. PROCESSES TO BE OBSERVED IN DESIGN TO ASSURE THAT PROPER DETAILING OF HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL MEMBERS IS ACCOMPLISHED ARE MENTIONED. /AUTHOR/
