Steel bridges – Material matters - Corrosion protection
Modern high performance coating systems may be expected to achieve lives to first major maintenance in excess of 30 years on thoughtfully designed steel bridges.
Steel bridges – Material matters - Material selection and product specification
This brochure is intended to give designers background information and specific guidance on how to select an appropriate steel grade and quality and on how the structural steel products for a bridge are specified in accordance with the Structural Eurocodes.
Steel bridges – Material matters - Sustainability
Steel is widely used around the world for the construction of bridges from the very large to the very small. It is a versatile and effective material that provides efficient and sustainable solutions. Steel scores well on all the sustainability measures, and offers a broad range of benefits addressing the economic, environmental, and social priorities of the ‘triple bottom line’ of sustainability.
Steel bridges – Material matters - Weathering steel
A well-detailed weathering steel bridge in an appropriate environment provides an attractive, very low maintenance, economic solution. This brochure highlights the benefits of weathering steel for bridges, describes the limitations on its use, and comments on both the material availability and the appearance of such bridges.
Student guide to steel bridge design
The guide describes the general features of bridges, outlines the various forms of steel bridge construction in common use, and discusses the considerations to be made in designing them.
