• Abstract:
  High-strength low-alloy steel (HSLA) weathering
  
  steels are the conventional choice for fracture-critical members in bridge construction. HSLA
  
  weathering steels offer superior corrosion
  
  resistance, important in Florida’s humid and
  
  coastal environments. They also offer high
  
  strength-to-weight ratio, ductility, and toughness.
  
  For specific applications, HSLA steels differ from
  
  carbon steel because of special processing and
  
  because they contain a low amount of alloy
  
  materials. “Weathering” means that, once in
  
  service, the steel develops a rust-like crust, which
  
  protects the steel.
