Abstract BETHLEHEM LUKENS PLATE HPS-70W is a high-performance steel (HPS) developed through a cooperative agreement among the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), and the Department of the Navy. This steel is an improved version of ASTM A 709 grade 70W. This datasheet provides information on composition and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming and joining. Filing Code: SA-506. Producer or source: Bethlehem Lukens Plate.

The design of light-gage steel corrugated shear diaphragms is not yet covered by the structural codes of many countries, including Canada. The shear capacity of steel diaphragms may be predicted by various approaches currently available, namely, those proposed by: (1) the American Iron and Steel Institute; (2) the Manual of seismic design of buildings, published by the U.S. Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force; and (3) the recommendations outlined in the current British code. In this paper, a rational method is proposed and the application of all the above methods is illustrated with reference to a specific example. Finally, the shear strengths of many diaphragms are predicted by the new approach developed by the authors and the results are compared to test data.

Se presenta un laboratorio virtual que realiza el análisis, diseño y optimización de estructuras de acero rolado en frío, así como la cuantificación de los materiales utilizados en la construcción de la techumbre completa y el costo de fabricación e instalación la misma. El software está dotado con una interfaz de usuario amigable desarrollado para la empresa “Tejas El Águila”. El análisis estructural considera cargas de peso propio, muertas y vivas, a las que estará sometida la estructura en condiciones de servicio, además de considerarse los efectos de viento y sismo para la República Mexicana -de acuerdo a la normatividad vigente. El optimizador está basado en métodos de minimización de entropía con restricciones múltiples, evaluando cada una de las estructuras por el método de la rigidez. Para la evaluación de la eficiencia de la estructura, se utiliza la normativa American Iron and Steel Institute- Allowable Stress Design (AISI-ASD). La optimización de las estructuras se realiza haciendo múltiples evaluaciones de diferentes configuraciones de las mismas, tarea que se ha paralelizado utilizando técnicas de programación de memoria compartida Open Multiprocessing (OpenMP). La combinación adecuada del seguimiento de las normatividades vigentes, la implementación del optimizador y los métodos matriciales para el cálculo de estructuras, aunado al ambiente grafico fácil de usar y amigable, han resultado en un potente software que genera soluciones de vivienda económicas, seguras y estéticas (favoreciendo así a un amplio sector de la sociedad mexicana).

<p>In 1992, the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) initiated an effort with the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and the U. S. Navy (Navy) to develop new high-performance steels (HPS) for bridges. The driving force for this project was the need to develop improved higher strength, improved weldability, higher toughness steels to improve the overall quality and fabricability of steels used in bridges in the United States. It was furthermore established that such steels should be "weathering". By this is meant the ability to perform without painting under normal atmospheric conditions.</p>
