| Abstract: |
This paper describes the proposed properties of "SBHS" (Steel for Bridge High-performance Structures) based on the required performance for bridges and the advantages of SBHS in design and fabrication of steel bridges. New structural designs of all welded superstructure became possible by using SBHS, also resulting in the creation of esthetic values for Tokyo Gate Bridge. Through the large scale application of SBHS to the Tokyo Gate Bridge project, the advantages have been confirmed, such as cost saving of construction, reduced weight of superstructures. The SBHS is expected to contribute to the more economical and higher quality of steel bridges in the future |
