In recent years, SBHS500 (Steels for Bridge High-performance Structure) has been standardized in Japanese Industrial Standards and in Japanese Design Specifications for Highway Bridges. Compared with conventional steels, there is a lack of information on SBHS500. In this study, tensile tests of SBHS500 and axial compression tests of cruciform stubcolumns were conducted, comparing the results with those of conventional steels. Analytical study was also conducted using a method that was validated by comparing experimental results and analytical ones. Based on the information obtained in both experimentally and analytically, evaluation formulas for the load carrying capacity of outstanding plates were proposed.
