Weathering Steel

Weathering steel is NYSDOT’s first choice for steel multi-girder bridges under most conditions. This decision has been made in part because of the cost savings that can be realized due to decreased painting and maintenance requirements. However, recent studies have shown that this may not always be the case. This presentation will discuss some situations where bridges with weathering steel are underperforming and whether or not the situation can be rectified for future applications. | SESSION 2.4 Weathering Steel Brian McMahon P.E.
