Steel Bridge Competition

The Steel Bridge Competition is sponsored by the American Institute of Steel Construction. Students design, fabricate and construct a 1:10 scale model steel bridge.

The bridge is built during the competition, then is load tested with 2,500 pounds and its deflection is measured. The winning bridge is based on its design, construction time, weight, deflection and economic practicality.
