Abstract:Before HPS-70W TMCP steel can be widely used, fabrication and design guidelines need to be verified and/or modified. The objectives of the proposed research are to: 1. Verify the mechanical properties of HPS70W TMCP steel by performing coupon testing of plate material 2. Evaluate the performance of punched and drilled bolt holes in thicker HPS-70W steel plates 3. Examine erection stresses on a bridge constructed of HPS-70W TMCP while the concrete deck is cast to provide data for investigating alternative erection schemes. 4. Verify existing performance criteria by performing load testing of a bridge constructed from HPS-70W TMCP steel.
