Webinar: Weathering Steel Rail & Road Bridges Design, Construction & Maintenance
October 20, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - October 22, 2020 @ 2:00 pm
With the increased use of weathering steel in both Australian and New Zealand bridges the ASI and HERA are pleased to present a joint webinar to share the latest information on the design, fabrication, construction, in-service performance and maintenance of the weathering steel bridges.
The presentation will discuss the use and misuse of weathering steel, and its history of use in Australia and New Zealand. Based on relevant local (AS/NZS) and international standards; that are covered in the HERA Australian and New Zealand weathering steel bridge design guides.
Key Aspects to be covered:
- Material Selection and Mechanical Properties
- Design of weathering steel members
- Bolted connections
- Welding
- Fatigue
- Fabrication quality management
- Structural Detailing – drainage, water runoff
- Surface Appearance
- In-service Inspection
- And much more….
