S960 steel is a high-strength structural steel that finds extensive application in bridge construction. Its exceptional mechanical properties and durability make it an ideal choice for building robust and long-lasting bridges. PEAKKONG Special Steel launches S960Q/S960QL/S960QL1 structural profiles (H-beam, I-beam, channel steel, angle steel, T-beam, steel pipe, square tube, flat tube…) with third-party certification, SGS/TUV/DNV.

S960 steel belongs to the class of high-strength structural steels, specifically designed to withstand heavy loads and harsh environmental conditions. It is categorized under the European standard EN 10025-6, which defines the technical delivery conditions for flat and long products of high yield strength structural steels.

• 1. High Yield Strength: S960 steel exhibits a minimum yield strength of 960 MPa, which is significantly higher than conventional structural steels. This exceptional strength allows for the construction of lighter and more slender bridge structures.
• 2. Excellent Toughness: S960 steel possesses excellent toughness, enabling it to absorb energy and resist fracture even under extreme loading conditions. This property ensures the structural integrity of bridges, especially in areas prone to seismic activities or heavy traffic.
• 3. Enhanced Weldability: Despite its high strength, S960 steel offers good weldability, allowing for efficient fabrication and construction processes. This characteristic is crucial in bridge engineering, as it simplifies the assembly of complex structural components.
• 4. Resistance to Corrosion: S960 steel is designed to withstand corrosion, making it suitable for bridges exposed to aggressive environments such as coastal areas or industrial zones. This resistance reduces maintenance requirements and extends the service life of the bridge.

• 1. Long-Span Bridges: S960 steel is commonly used in the construction of long-span bridges, where its high strength-to-weight ratio enables the creation of slender and aesthetically pleasing structures. The reduced weight also minimizes the foundation requirements, resulting in cost savings.
• 2. Cable-Stayed Bridges: Cable-stayed bridges rely on a network of cables to support the bridge deck. S960 steel’s exceptional strength allows for the construction of longer cable-stayed spans, reducing the number of piers and enhancing the overall structural efficiency.
• 3. Suspension Bridges: Suspension bridges, known for their iconic towers and suspended roadway, benefit from the high tensile strength of S960 steel. This strength enables the construction of longer main cables, reducing the number of towers and enhancing the bridge’s visual appeal.
• 4. Bridge Components: S960 steel is also utilized in various bridge components, such as trusses, beams, and columns. Its high strength and toughness ensure the structural stability and load-bearing capacity of these elements, contributing to the overall safety and reliability of the bridge.

• 1. Cost Efficiency: The high strength of S960 steel allows for the use of smaller and lighter structural members, resulting in reduced material and transportation costs. Additionally, its enhanced durability minimizes maintenance expenses over the bridge’s lifespan.
• 2. Design Flexibility: S960 steel’s excellent weldability and formability provide designers with greater flexibility in creating innovative bridge designs. This versatility allows for the realization of unique architectural concepts while maintaining structural integrity.
• 3. Sustainability: By utilizing S960 steel in bridge construction, engineers can achieve sustainable outcomes. The reduced material consumption and extended service life contribute to a lower carbon footprint and a more environmentally friendly infrastructure.
