| Abstract: |
The results of an examination on structural steels of different grades from a three-span plate girder bridge are presented. The riveted structure consists of six spans of a similar structure but constructed at different periods over the bridge’s service life, with two of the spans estimated to be original and dating from 1873. The structure has degraded at different levels, along with the amount of corrosion. The testing of naturally ageing and normalised specimens enabled the steel degradation and effects of ageing to be assessed. Along with mechanical properties, the weldability of the steels was also assessed. |
