Abstract
High Performance Steel, grade 70 (HPS-70W) became available for use in early 1996 for fabrication and testing in bridges. Two (2) states, Nebraska and Tennessee agreed to be the first to implement usage. This paper provides a discussion of 3 Tennessee case histories in which high performance steel has been used to achieve weight and cost economies.
