Knovel -- Use and Application of High-Performance Steels for Steel Structures {SED 8}

Development of HPS goes with today’s increased demand for slender lightweight structures, as for example in bridge design and the design of high rise buildings, where there is a strong requirement to use high strength materials in combination with good execution and fabrication properties. However, on the structural engineering side there is a need for knowledge on these new steel grades, and quite often design codes do not provide sufficient information to fully exploit the advantageous properties of HPS
