The scope of the paper is to give an introduction to the assessment subject matter of steel properties used in old railway bridges. The mechanical and chemical properties of construction steel extracted from old steel bridges are generally investigated by tensile tests, impact tests through the Charpy pendulum impact V-notch, and an optical emission spectrometer. Besides descriptions of the tests, the chosen chemical and mechanical properties of old steels are also given. The paper begins with a wide survey of literature carried out on the investigation of railway bridge and bridge engineering subject matter. This paper can provide scientists, engineers, and designers with an introduction to the assessment of the mechanical and chemical steel properties used in old railway bridges.
