| Abstract | This report presents a succinct view of historical steel bridge design with an emphasis on the evolution of the steel itself, including a summary of American Society for Testing and Materials and American Association of State Highway Officials/American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials steel specifications used in steel bridges and their tensile, chemical, and impact energy requirements. A timeline of major design changes, such as welding and bolting, composite design, and fatigue design, is presented. |
