... 5008C the e€ect of the slab is much greater and it is the slab thickness which is the most important in¯uence on the behaviour. At very high temperatures the ¯oor slab becomes the main load-bearing element, whose strength and sti€ness are crucial to the integrity of the ®re compartment. Keywords...

A representative set of steel girder bridges was selected (with regard to span, girder spacing, slab thickness, type of environment, and traf c parameters), and reliability indices and load capacity factors calculated. The effect of long-term exposure to corrosion was considered...
