Evolution of High-Strength Steels Used in Structural Engineering
The development which led to the use of higher strength steels for bridges in the United States is outlined in this paper. The rapid increase of population by natural growth and immigration and the industrialization of the country demanded transportation facilities for freight and men. Heavy trains required bridges of great strength, and crowded cities demanded structures with many tracks and wide roads. The wealth of the country and the growth of automotive transportation called for comfort and speed and led to the building of large bridges of long spans. Engineers, by the use of higher strength steel, were able to construct many great structures.
