Structural steel has been vital to engineering and construction over the past century. Its versatility has allowed it to perform outstandingly in countless applications. However, there have been repeated failures associated with fracture and/or fatigue mechanisms; the 1994 Northridge earthquake, the 1995 Kobe earthquake, and most recently the I-35W Mississippi River Bridge collapse in Minneapolis on August 1, 2007. These failures have highlighted concerns for the life of bridge structures particularly with regard to fatigue and corrosion. Although problems with fatigue and brittle have been well documented, these factors and issues have not yielded state-of-the-art design practices. The goal of Reducing Brittle and Fatigue Failures in Steel Structures is to provide a one-volume reference of failures in steel structures, along with considerations to preventing them. This book will give engineers a better understanding of steel and its limitations and applications, in order to reduce brittle and fatigue failures. This book will be a valuable resource for structural engineers, as well as professionals involved in bridge construction, design, and maintenance.

Brittle Fracture in Steel Structures emphasizes the prevention of brittle fracture in structures fabricated from mild and low alloy steel operating at normal ambient temperatures. This book is divided into seven chapters. Chapter 1 provides the historical background and summarizes numerous case histories of brittle fractures. The nature of the phenomenon and factors that influence brittle fracture, including various methods of testing to determine the notch ductilities of different steels are described in Chapters 2 to 4. The fifth chapter elaborates the design considerations affecting the choice of steel for structural applications. Chapter 6 reviews the main methods for assessing the degree of notch ductility needed for different applications, while Chapter 7 deliberates practical procedures, recommended by the Navy Department Advisory Committee on Structural Steels, for assessing the suitability of different steels for particular applications. This publication is beneficial to metallurgists and welders intending to acquire knowledge of mild steel structures fabricated by welding from rolled steel plates and sections.

"This book emphasizes the physical and practical aspects of fatigue and fracture. It covers mechanical properties of materials, differences between ductile and brittle fractures, fracture mechanics, the basics of fatigue, structural joints, high temperature failures, wear, environmentally-induced failures, and steps in the failure analysis process."--publishers website.

Prepared by the Committee on Practice to Reduce Failures of the Forensics Engineering Division of ASCESteel Structures:Considerations to Reduce Failures due to Instability provides a detailed overview of the issuesassociated with theinstability of steel structures. As structures have developed and evolved to utilize both slender and less heavy elements, the incidence of buckling instability has increasingly been encountered. Communication between the design and construction teams, changes in the design and construction contract process, and continuing education are vital to the thorough understanding of potential instabilityof steel structures and forpreventing reoccurrence of failures.This book focuses on the various forms of instability associated with compressive forces, bending, shear, and torsion, including global and local buckling. Topics covered includeCase studies of nineteenth and twentieth century failures;Introduction to the theory of instability, including its historical development;Material considerations;Effects of welding and fabrication details;Load demands; andRecommendations on current practice for both temporary conditions and permanent design.This book will be of value to structural and civil engineers, architects, contractors, steel fabricators, erectors, and those involved with the assessment and design of steel structures.
