The main span of the four-lane highway Mission Bridge is 440 ft (134.1 m) long with 290 ft (88.4 m) flanking spans, and consists of a steel box girder with an orthotropic steel plate deck. A box girder was adopted due to the structural efficiency of the box section and advantages in using thin plate material. The design is based on CSA Standard S6-1966 and the AISC Design Manual for Orthotropic Steel Plate Deck Bridges as far as applicable and with some deviations. The design was reviewed subsequent to the failure of steel box girder bridges abroad. The strength of the bottom plate in compression and the transverse bolted joints in compression received special attention. The joints of the deck plate made in the field are welded.In the fabrication and erection of the bridge, advantage was taken of the marine location of the fabrication yard. Special erection equipment was developed for the job. A key element in the scheme was ease with which the erection crane scow could be positioned.The application of the hot asphaltic concrete paving caused considerable thermal expansion of the steel structure.The cost of the steel superstructure was about the same as was estimated for a concrete superstructure. However, site conditions were such that the weight of the concrete structure would have increased the foundation costs.

Electro polymerization of N-benzothiazolyl maleamic acid (NBM) was carried out on stainless steel plate electrode in a protic medium of monomer aqueous solution using electrochemical oxidation procedure in electrochemical cell.Spectroscopic characterization techniques were investigated to obtain information about the chemical structure of polymer. The anti-corrosion action of polymer was investigated on stainless steel by electrochemical polarization method. In addition, the effect of adding nanomaterial (TiO2, ZnO (bulk-nano)) to monomer solution on the corrosion behavior of stainless steel was investigated. The results obtained showed that the corrosion rate of S-steel increased with temperature increase from 293K to 323K and the values of inhibition efficiency by coating polymer increase with nanomaterial addition. Apparent energies of activation have been calculated for the corrosion process of S-steel in acidic medium before and after polymeric coating. Furthermore were studied the effect of the preparing polymer on some strain of bacteria.

Abstract ABREX 450LT (hardness target of 450 HBW) is one of the Abrex series of abrasion resistant steel plate alloys. All of the products are maintained at very low impurity levels, making them well suited to welding and forming. The LT designation indicates an extra tough grade. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, tensile properties, and bend strength as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on surface qualities as well as forming, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SA-769. Producer or source: Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal Corporation.
