Standard Specification for Structural Steel for Bridges

Standard Details

1.1 This specification covers carbon and high-strength low-alloy steel structural shapes, plates, and bars, quenched and tempered alloy steel, and stainless steel for structural plates intended for use in bridges. Eight grades are available in four yield strength levels as follows:

Grade U.S. [SI]

1.1.1 Grades 36 [250], 50 [345], 50S [345S], 50W [345W], and 50CR [345CR] are also included in Specifications A36/A36M, A572/A572M, A992/A992M, A588/A588M, and A1010/A1010M (UNS S41003), respectively. When the requirements of Table 10 or Table 11 or the supplementary requirements of this specification are specified, they exceed the requirements of Specifications A36/A36M, A572/A572M, A992/A992M, A588/A588M, and A1010/A1010M (UNS S41003). Product availability is shown in Table 1.
