The average age of steel bridges in the United States has now exceeded the design life for any bridges built prior to 1975. We continue to rely on these Stalwart structures that have served our communities well, but some may begin to show need of repair. Reparability of steel bridges has always been a standout characteristic that empowers owners to safely extend the life of bridges well into the future. Two presentations will focus on targeted aspects of steel bridge rehabilitation that bring to light new and innovative practices to increase load carrying capacity and improve fatigue resistance. Practical and achievable, this session will share ideas that every owner and designer should hear.
