self-protected steel Explanation: docuement specifically on bridges; talks about the use of "self-protected steels" in bridge structures. There are other documents but (if the link works, should convince you). Definitely seems specific to bridges and is a term used frequently. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2008-01-10 13:42:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If you get through to the pdf. document, look at page 15 where it says, "POT bearings are supplied with different corrosion protection following specific requirements such as metalisation or use of self-protected steels" hope this helps Reference: http://www.vsl.com/document.php?getfile=280 |
