What is the Steel Bridge Competition?
The Student Steel Bridge Competition is a national collegiate competition organized by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC).
Colleges from North America are challenged to design, fabricate, and erect a steel bridge by themselves, and are judged on a number of categories including:
-
Display (Design of bridge and poster are scored)
-
Construction Speed
-
Lightness
-
Stiffness
-
Construction Economy
-
Structural Efficiency
-
Overall Performace
​
Important Notice:
While MSU does not currently have an active Steel Bridge Team, we urge you to get involved. You can get involved by contacting the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department Chair, contacting the ASCE Faculty Advisor, or contacting your local ASCE Lansing-Jackson Branch for guidance. Getting a Steel Bridge Team started again at MSU will take hard work, dedication, and passion about structures, but it will be well worth the journey.
