The application of weathering steel in all 50 states and the District of Columbia is described and case studies of unsatisfactory performance are presented. In addition, site selection, benefits of weathering steel versus painted steel, proper handling and storage of weathering steel components before erection, final cleaning of steel after erection, and protection of the concrete substructure from rust staining are all addressed. Guidelines for evaluating the condition of the oxide coating, the underlying steel structure, and the structure as a whole are presented, and examples of the periodic maintenance needed are given. A final section recommends a method of remedially painting weathering steel bridge that have not performed satisfactorily.
