Effect of Corrosion and Cracks at the Historical Steel Bridges

Article Preview

Abstract:

Most of the historical steel bridges are still original and have presented a number of defects (strong corrosion, fatigue material). These fractures may be conceptually explained by the presence of irregularities along the elements, the rusted surface that may act as crack initiators and precipitate crack propagation throughout the section.
