WELDING CAN RESTORE CORRODED SUSPENSION BRIDGE EYEBARS
A problem for many suspension and cable-stayed bridges is eyebar corrosion, which can ultimately jeopardize the load-carrying capacity of a bridge. With recent advances in welding metallurgy and automation, controlled weld surfacing has become an attractive means of rehabilitating corroded eyebars. This article addresses the four key issues related to surface welding, including: 1) inadequate work space and poor working conditions; 2) welding under tension; 3) weldability of eyebar metal; and 4) adverse effects from welding heat or preheating.
