Galvanised steel ties are no longer in use for this reason.

The trusses are held together with thin steel ties.

Modern practice is to use stainless steel ties.

To strengthen the structure, over one thousand stainless steel tie rods were set into the building's masonry.

The inner arches remained standing; their concrete bowstring was replaced with a steel tie.

Concrete sleepers can also consist of two separate blocks connected by a steel tie rod.

Historically, steel ties (sleepers) have suffered from poor design and increased traffic loads over their normally long service life.

Renovation of the main line began from Massawa westbound, recovering rails and steel ties.

The new track structure consisted of steel ties and steel reinforcing encased in concrete.

As time has passed many galvanised steel ties have deteriorated due to moisture in the outer leaf of brickwork.

The inner two rows would form the lock walls, while the outer two were tied to them by steel tie rods to provide anchorage.

That building's abutting wall was anchored to 599 Broadway with 42 steel tie rods ending in 42 exposed channel braces.

The railway formerly used untreated ties milled locally from yellow cedar, but is now making increasing use of steel ties.

Modern steel ties handle heavy loads, have a proven record of performance in signalized track, and handle adverse track conditions.

It is built of reinforced concrete and brick with a timber roof supported by concrete arches with steel tie rods.

Steel ties are common on secondary lines in the UK; plastic composite ties are also employed, although far less than wood or concrete.

When insulated to prevent conduction through the ties, steel ties may be used with track circuit based train detection and track integrity systems.

At any rate, the arch was partly dismantled and steel tie bars and lateral reinforcing arches were installed, together with external buttresses.

Of high importance to railroad companies is the fact that steel ties are more economical to install in new construction than creosote-treated wood ties and concrete ties.

The bridge main span is supported by steel ties connected to elliptical arches, with three arches on the north side and four arches on the south side.

Four exposed, high strength post tensioned locked coil steel tie cables run alongside the deck and tie the bases of the arches together, pre-stressing the concrete deck sections.

Without insulation, steel ties may only be used on lines without block signaling and level crossings or on lines that use other forms of train detection such as axle counters.

Steel ties are utilized in nearly all sectors of the worldwide railroad systems including heavy-haul, class 1's, regional, shortlines, mining, electrified passenger lines (OHLE) and all manner of industries.

Notably, steel ties (bearers) have proven themselves over the last few decades to be advantageous in turnouts (switches) and provide the solution to the ever-growing problem of long timber ties for such use.

They performed a series of dives under the ice in March 1994 and lifted the deck through holes in the ice, then installed 3/4 inch steel tie rods to hold the sides of the hull together.
