Happy Steel Day!

10/23/2025

For more than a century, American structural steel has provided the framework for progress, powering bridges, buildings, and communities across the country.

Since AISC's founding in 1921, we've seen buildings stretch skyward and bridges span once-inconceivable lengths as structural steel continues to revolutionize the built environment.

This SteelDays, we're putting on a record, digging up time capsules, and rummaging through filing cabinets to bring you a shot-blast from the past as we celebrate our timeless industry and its impact on the way Americans live, work, and play.

Join us at aisc.org/steeldays-legacy as we reflect on the lasting legacy of those who built--and continue to build--with steel.

Happy SteelDays!

Did you know that the oldest steel bridge still in service in the U.S. opened during Abraham Lincoln’s lifetime? Yup. Americans have relied on steel bridges for more than a century. AISC celebrated some of them during its own centennial celebrations in 2021.

Check out our award-winning timeline for the full historical context of some bridges that are going strong well into the 21st century. (Plus, if you’ve ever wondered about the first cow to fly on an airplane, we’ve got you covered.)

Happy SteelDays week! Today we’re celebrating the pride of being part of such a robust and transformative industry.

How many careers give you the opportunity to point at a structure people use every day and say, “I built that”?

When you work in the structural steel industry, that’s not a hypothetical. It’s the lived reality. That kind of tangible legacy is more than job satisfaction; it’s the pride of turning abstract designs and complex calculations into everyday wonder for thousands (or millions) of people.

Celebrate that sense of pride alongside us for SteelDays as we explore the diversity of opportunities available in structural steel! Dive into a few of the things that make the industry proud at aisc.org/steeldays-pride.
