Steel Bridges and Resilience: Engineering the Future of Infrastructure

Infrastructure Week 2025

May 15th, 2025
12:00-1pm ET

Across the United States, disasters of greater intensity, duration and frequency have wreaked havoc on communities of every size and location. According to the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), in 2024 a total of 27 extreme weather events caused 568 deaths and over $182 billion in damages. In addition to life and property losses, disasters strike assets across the infrastructure network, including our nation’s roads and bridges.
Measures to mitigate the impacts of natural disasters have led to an increased focus on resilience. Every dollar spent on resilience and preparedness saves communities $13 in post-disaster costs. Yet, more must be done to safeguard against extreme weather, especially for short span bridges that serve as vital lifelines for local communities.
To build more resilient bridges, the future must start today. With innovative materials, designs, and protection systems now available, the American steel and galvanizing industry is poised to deliver bridges that endure well into the next century—and beyond.

The Short Span Steel Bridge Alliance (SSSBA) and the American Galvanizers Association (AGA) have developed free, essential resources to streamline steel bridge design and ensure long-term performance with a 100-year service life. Join us during Infrastructure Week to explore these resources and gain the tools needed to build resilient steel bridges that stand up to tomorrow’s challenges.

Advanced free registration is required for this webinar through the American Galvanizers Association. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

Galvanize It! Hot-Dip Galvanized Reinforcing Steel Webinar

April 30th, 2025
11:00am ET

The purpose of this seminar is to educate architects, engineers, DOT personnel, and other specifiers about the benefits of utilizing hot-dip galvanized reinforcing steel in concrete projects throughout North America. Steel is often used as a reinforcement embedded in concrete, which is porous, therefore it is important to protect it from corrosion. Many benefits help HDG rebars performance in concrete including its proven corrosion protection and performance. Galvanized reinforcing steel is also known for its durability, unparalleled bond strength, abrasion resistance, and environmental and economical sustainability. This seminar will help specifiers understand these benefits will providing design and specification information specific to hot-dip galvanized rebar.
