AISC Student Steel Design Competition Handbook: 2017–2018 Edition

Description

The 2017-2018 Steel Design Student Competition is socially oriented to challenge students to design affordable multi-family housing in an urban context.

Steel is an ideal material for affordable multi-story housing because it offers the greatest strength to weight ratio and can be designed systematically as a kit of parts or prefabricated to allow for quicker construction times and less labor, thus reducing the cost of construction. Housing built with steel is potentially more flexible and adaptable to allow for diversity of family structures and changing family needs over time.
