A Summary of the Application of High-strength Steel in Bridge Engineering

Abstract

Regarding the application of high-strength steel in bridges, this paper describes the development and changes in the properties of high-strength steel through a review of the relevant literature from the past five years. This paper introduces the research status of high-strength steel, steel strands and high-strength rebars and focuses on the research status and application level of HRB500 and HRB600 high-strength rebars, combined with their performance characteristics and application cases, and prospects for corresponding development and application in the future.
