Structural Steel in Exterior Applications [E8]

Exterior applications for steel are everywhere, from parking garages to exoskeleton structures to long spans in stadia, all requiring additional consideration for elements like corrosion protection, wind-induced vibration, thermal differentials, and enhanced aesthetics.

In this session, we will discuss these considerations and describe how, with up-front planning, deliberate construction, and a maintenance plan, exposed structures can provide creative architectural and structural solutions with long, trouble-free lifespans.
