Maintenance-Free Corrosion-Resistant Steel Plate for Bridges
The Virginia Department of Transportation has released a report that compares the fabrication requirements, corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, construction components, and costs of using traditional bridge steels versus corrosion-resistant steel plates (CRPs). The purpose of this report is to determine CRPs’ suitability for bridges in highly corrosive environments by considering both initial costs and maintenance costs of the life of the structure.
