2021 North American Steel Construction Conference: The Virtual Steel Conference
Virtual Conference
United States
Tune in with us to this year’s NASCC Virtual Steel Conference featuring the World Steel Bridge Symposium!
Our presenters are looking forward to reconnecting with fellow experts in the field to share valuable insight into the development of steel deck panel alternative to concrete- or timber-ballasted decks in railroad bridges, using the NSBA Guide to Navigating Routine Steel Bridge Design – AASHTO 9th Edition, practical examples of bridge owners utilizing building information modeling in their design process, examples from across the U.S. in which bridge teams chose steel to overcome challenging aspects of the projects, and developing more economic and effective non-composite steel box-section members for bridge construction.
