High Performance Steel For Highway Bridges
Vasant C. Mistry , Federal Highway Administration

ABSTRACT:
All steels possess a combination of properties that determines how well steel performs. Strength, weldability, toughness, ductility, corrosion resistance, and formability are all important to determine how well steel performs. High-performance steel (HPS) can be defined as having an optimized balance of these properties to give maximum performance in bridge structures while remaining cost-effective.
