The Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) Steel Bridge team, nicknamed Blue Steel, is in its second year of participating in the AISC ASCE Steel Bridge Competition. The team is a joint venture between students in the senior design class and the American Society of Civil Engineers: CCSU Chapter. The first semester the design and analysis of the bridge is performed by a handful of seniors in the senior design class. Once the design is completed and checked to make sure it is structural sound the second semester starts the fabrication and construction of the bridge. The second semester the members of the American Soicety of Civil Engineers: CCSU come and help fabricate and construct the bridge along with the seniors who helped design it.
The bridge is in the fabrication and construction phase. Keep posted as Blue Steel continues with this phase of the project. Take a look at some of the beginning photos of the project!
