The study describes the data collection process, shows the statistical results, and validates the assumed distributions (Normal for steel, Log-Normal for concrete) by using goodness-of-fit tests. The database is a valuable tool for researchers and practitioners, as it allows them to enhance the knowledge of materials used for bridges construction, thereby reducing uncertainties in structural assessments.
