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.
