Bridge Steels and Corrosion Protection

One of the most important decisions designers have to make is selection of the proper grade of steel and corrosion-protection system. […]

Bolted connections of cold-formed steel members are designed as bearing type connections. Bolt pretensioning is not required and installation should

Most field connections are made by bolting, either with high-strength bolts (ASTM A325 or A490) or with ordinary machine bolts (A307

In new work, ASTM A307 bolts or high-strength bolts used in bearing-type connections should not be considered as sharing the stress

Bridges should be designed so that a total movement due to temperature change of 11â„4 in per 100 ft can take

Beams are structural members subjected to lateral forces that cause bending. There are distinct relationships between the load on a

For a member subjected to flexure, the bending strength depends on the shape of the member, width/ thickness or depth/ thickness

AISC ASD Approach. Beams may be supported directly on concrete or masonry if the bearing pressure is within the allowable.
