2017 FBC – Test Protocols for HVHZ, 6th edition
Overview The 2015 Florida High-Strength Low-Alloy Structural Steel with Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance Code provides comprehensive guidelines for the specification, production, and use of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) structural steel designed to resist atmospheric corrosion. This type of steel is commonly used in construction projects exposed to harsh environmental conditions, such as bridges, buildings, and other infrastructure elements, particularly in coastal or industrial areas where corrosion is a significant concern.
The code includes specifications for material properties, including tensile strength, yield strength, and corrosion resistance, to ensure that the steel components meet the required performance standards. The 2015 edition aligns with industry standards such as those from the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), incorporating Florida-specific amendments to address the state’s unique environmental challenges, particularly related to high humidity and salt exposure.
