Variability of Fracture Toughness in A514/517 Plate, Executive Summary
On June 13, 1970, a brittle fracture developed in one of the three tension flanges of a large steel box girder bridge under construction at Bryte Bend, California, as the concrete deck was being placed. The report presents a summary evaluation of the extensive fracture toughness and failure analysis data that were gathered by and for the California Department of Transportation in connection with the investigation of the cause of the brittle fracture. The study also included consideration of the steels used in a second bridge at Tuolumne River, California, which was simultaneously under construction and incorporated the same type of steel used in the Bryte Bend bridge. In addition, the characteristics of steels used to repair and reinforce these two bridges were also studied.
