SECTION 710 STRUCTURAL STEEL SCOPE
710.01.01 Material Covered. This specification covers the quality of structural steel.
REQUIREMENTS
710.02.01 Defects. Finished rolled material shall be free from cracks, flaws, injurious seams, laps, blisters,
ragged and imperfect edges, and other defects. It shall have a smooth, uniform finish and shall be straightened in the mill before shipment. Provide material free from loose mill scale, rust pits, or other defects affecting its strength or durability. Material will be rejected if deemed unsuitable for the purpose intended even though the material meets the requirements of the mill tolerances.
710.02.02 Charpy V -notch Test. Structural steel conforming to AASHTO M270 need not comply with the
Impact Testing Requirements unless designated on the plans as main load carrying members subject to tensile stress. Structural steel requiring Impact Testing shall meet the minimum requirements of Zone 2, unless otherwise shown on the plans. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND TESTS
710.03.01 Standard Steel. All steel for use in miscellaneous structures, unless otherwise noted, shall conform
to AASHTO M270 Grade 250 (36).
710.03.02 High Strength Low Alloy Columbium —Vanadium Steel. This steel shall conform to AASHTO
M270 Grade 345 (50), and shall be other than rimmed or capped steel.
710.03.03 High Strength Bolts. All bolts, nuts, washers, and Tension Control Bolts used in high- strength
connections shall conform to Article 11.3.2 of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Construction Specifications, except as follows:
1.All nuts used with AASHTO M164 or ASTM A325 type 1 bolts shall conform to the requirements of ASTM A563 Grade DH or ASTM A194 Grade 2H. All nuts used with AASHTO M164 or ASTM A325 type 3 bolts shall conform to the requirements of ASTM A563 Grade DH3.
2.Tension Control Bolts shall be considered Alternative Fasteners as defined in Article 11.3.2.5 of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Construction Specifications, and shall meet the requirements contained therein.
3.The Rotational Capacity T est will be performed on all bolt, nut, and washer assemblies as outlined in Article 11.5.6.4.2 of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Construction Specifications and shall meet the requirements therein.
