High-yield-point steel plates for bridges (SBHS)
SBHS (Steel for Bridge High Performance Structures) features high-performance, high-tensile strength steel that was developed based on the results of a joint project carried out by industry and academia for the purpose of reducing the construction costs of steel bridges.
Features
- Higher yield strength than conventional steel (constant yield strength irrespective of sheet thickness)
- Greater ease of fabrication and welding than conventional steel, eliminating preheating in some cases, and enabling reducing preheating temperature.
Steel Yield strength
（N/mm2）Tensile strength
（N/mm2）Preheating Charpy test Test temperature (℃) Absorption energy (J) Test direction SBHS500 (W) 500 or more 570～720 Not required -5 100 or more Perpendicular to direction of rolling SBHS700 (W) 700 or higher 780～930 50℃ -40 100 or more - Charpy test conducted perpendicular to rolling direction; any plate design direction.
- Improves ease of welding and cold fabrication, etc.; improves formability in manufacturing
NIPPON STEEL estimation results: 3-span continuous composite, 2 main girders (maximum span 60m)
-
- Reduction in total construction costs:
- Maximum reduction of approximately 10%(using SBHS500)
-
- Reduction of steel weight:
- Using SBHS500:Approximately 7% reduction (relative to SM570)
Using SBHS700:Approximately 15% reduction (relative to SM570)
Examples of use
Tokyo Gate Bridge (Japan)
The use of SBHS reduced total weight by 3% and total construction cost by 12% (estimates by MLIT).
Nagata Bridge (Japan)
First use of NIPPON STEEL's SBHS high yield steel plate for bridges after this steel was covered by JIS.
