Toughness requirements for heat-affected zones of welded structural steels for highway bridges /

Five welding processes are approved within AASHTO and the American Welding Society's bridge welding code for the fabrication of steel highway bridges. Each of these processes produce heat-affected zones (HAZs) of varying size and severity in the steel. NCHRP Research Report 1056: Toughness Requ...
