Hot Topics in Steel Construction 2.0

Online Zoom Meeting

May 14 | 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm | 1 AIA HSW Credit

PROGRAM

Architects want to know what new innovations and techniques exist in the structural steel industry and how they can be applied to express their designs, overcome client serviceability and safety concerns while optimizing budget and schedule. Participants in this program will learn about sustainable and efficient framing systems, methods and practices which make steel the material of choice for any project, no matter the size, shape or end use.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Participants will illustrate the domestic structural steel industry’s environmentally conscious supply chain which utilizes clean, efficient processes to create structural steel shapes with primarily recycled material.
• Participants will demonstrate how structural steel framing addresses the challenges of resilient building design for earthquakes, flooring, fire, extreme wind, blasts and more.
• Participants will discuss how innovative structural steel systems can improve efficiency, reduce schedule and increase overall safety by moving construction processes to a controlled environment offsite.
• Participants will explore fire protection concepts and explain how structural steel systems can safely overcome extreme heat conditions cost effectively by utilizing passive or active systems along with performance-based design techniques.
