Main Advantages of Steel in Bridges Construction using improved corrosion

Abstract

The main cause of the poor condition of bridges is the lack of maintenance since the cost can reach 10% of the project and, in the environment, the use of oil-based paint are dangerous air pollutants. So is necessary is the use of Cor-Ten steel as an alternative material for the development of functionality and economy. The total lifetime cost of a weather-resistant steel bridge can be up to 30% lower than a conventional steel cladding. In most cases, opting as a solution for weather-resistant steel is more cost effective than a coated steel optimized for most internal environments. It is known as structural steel with improved resistance to atmospheric corrosion containing alloys of copper, nickel, chromium and silicon; taking a reddish-brown color and over time, it darkens
