The development of HPS goes with today’s increased demand for slender lightweight structures, as for example in bridge design and the design of high rise buildings, where there is a strong requirement to use high strength materials in combination with good execution and fabrication properties. However, on the structural engineering side there is a need for knowledge on these new steel grades, and quite often design codes do not provide sufficient information to fully exploit the advantageous properties of HPS. This present volume provides an overview of the development and application of HPS on an international level.
