Introduction to the Steel Construction Process: The Team Behind the Building

All parties involved in the steel construction process play a critical role, from the office (structural design, connection design, and erection engineering), to the plant (steel production and fabrication), to the field (erection and quality assurance). Using the AISC Code of Standard Practice as a framework, this session discusses the team of contributors who are responsible for creating a structural steel building.

This presentation was given as the first of eight sessions of Night School 18:  Steel Construction:  From the Mill to Topping Out.  You can find other sessions from this Night School in the Education Archives at the following links.
