APPLICATION OF SOLDERED CONNECTIONS IN STEEL BRIDGES
The article discusses some provisions of soldering study for its further application in the design of nodal joints of steel bridges. Fatigue cracks are characteristic defects occurring in steel bridges during operation. The reasons for their appearance are related primarily to structural features of span structures and welded seams in joints of elements. The existing disadvantages of welded joints are almost completely absent in brazing joints. Investigations have shown that brazing joints, when using some solders, have a strength comparable to that of the base metal.
