| The rich, earthy beauty of Weathering Steel is being seen more and more often in
unpainted applications for bridges, utility poles and structures, sign structures and
highway guard rails. Engineers have become increasingly interested in the aesthetic
values of this weathered and textured material left exposed for its own beauty. More
importantly, the practical values of exposed, unpainted Weathering Steel are numerous as
well. The purpose of this booklet is to give owners, designers, structural engineers,
bridge engineers, and contractors helpful information about Weathering Steel-its use,
handling, fabrication, availability, properties, and specifications. |
