The issue of weathering steel (WS) material and structural component inspection has been
widely discussed in the current scientific research. However, there are few comprehensive …

In this paper, corrosion fatigue failure of high-strength steel wire was studied based on the
actual cable or sling in the bridge, and the service life prediction formula considering the …

Cracks can occur in the welded joints of weathering mild steel during the conventional
welding process, due to the high phosphorus content. The present work studies the …

This paper presents an investigation into the adhesion capability of rust layer under tension,
which is formed on weathering steel (WS) in simulated marine atmosphere. The …

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the corrosion behaviors and
mechanical properties of weathering steel (WS) in a marine atmosphere. Two types of WS …

The bearing capacity of a bridge mainly relies on its own stiffness, while, at present, it
remains a challenge to identify the bridge stiffness rapidly. In this paper, a rapid and …

Bridge decks are a critical element of a bridge that support and distribute vehicle loads to the
superstructure. Because of the requirements of this role, bridge decks are exposed to severe …

The long-term performance of uncoated weathering steel (UWS) bridges in the United States
is being assessed to update the current FHWA technical advisory regarding the use of UWS …

The deteriorating state of the nation's highway infrastructure is well known. Yet, the data that
exists or can be obtained regarding the condition and behavior of this infrastructure …

Corrosion is the greatest problem facing steel bridges today. Corrosion is caused by the
interaction of steel and atmospheric conditions. It can be prevented by adding a protective …
