Abstract
This article summarizes the current state of the art in the production and application of high strength heavy steel plates for steel structures. By the thermomechanical rolling process steel plates with a yield strength of up to 500 MPa can be produced. These steel grades are also characterized by best fabrication properties and can therefore be efficiently used in bridge building. For special elements sometimes also high strength grades with a yield strength up to 690 MPa are used. They are produced by the quenching and tempering process. Typical application examples in bridge building will be given.
