Summary

The project aims to develop welded bridges using High Strength Steel where it is required (mainly in highly stressed web). As usually the fatigue resistance of the welded joint as well as stability issues reduce the interest of using HSS in bridges, the project studies the optimal welding and post welding treatment in order to have a high fatigue resistance, as well as, the buckling behaviour of multiaxially stressed plates.
