Hosted by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), and in its eighth successive year, the 2016 edition of SteelDay will take place September 30. It is a national event of outreach and celebration while providing an inside look at the work and accomplishments of the U.S. structural steel industry.<\/p>\n

Events include jobsite tours throughout the country, a public voting competition for structural steel building projects, and a student photo contest.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited about SteelDay 2016 because it is a celebration everyone can be involved in,\u201d said AISC vice president John Cross. \u201c[It is] a celebration of U.S. manufacturing, [an observance] of the contributions of the structural steel industry to the built environment, and a [salute to] American design and construction professionals who build with structural steel.\u201d<\/p>\n

AISC\u2019s broadcast of the new documentary, Bridging Urban America<\/em>, produced by sOlar eye communications, will be screened online. The film<\/a>, which offers Continuing Education (CE) credits, tells the story of Ralph Modjeski, recognized designer of many of America\u2019s renowned bridges, and offers a view of these structures.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s SteelDay also introduces a people\u2019s choice competition allowing the public to vote for their favorite steel building project entered in this year\u2019s AISC Innovative Design in Engineering and Architecture with Structural Steel (IDEAS2<\/sup>) Awards program. Entries are being accepted through August 26 at www.aisc.org\/ideas2<\/a>. Public voting<\/a> will only be available during the week of SteelDay (September 26 to 30).<\/p>\n

In addition, students have the opportunity to showcase their university\u2019s AISC Steel Sculpture in a contest celebrating 30 years since the creation and installation of the original sculpture at the University of Florida. Today, there are more than 170 of these sculptures across the United States and worldwide. Through September 16, students are encouraged to enter a creative photo of their school\u2019s sculpture to be featured on AISC\u2019s Facebook page and voted by fans for a chance to win prizes.
