Consortium for Holistic Steel Systems

R³: Reliable. Robust. Responsible.

The Solution for Tomorrow

Together, we are better than the sum of our parts. That’s why our consortium’s goal is to spearhead the next generation of steel infrastructure by integrating reliability, robustness and responsibility into a holistic system. Steel is the most structurally reliable, environmentally responsible material, and it is capable of robust, cradle-to-cradle performance, making our steel systems approach the ideal solution for superior construction. Our consortium’s mutually beneficial, industrial-academic partnerships allow us to impact real communities by providing them with the tools and cutting-edge research to develop the infrastructure of the future. Join Us!

OUR APPROACH WEAVES RELIABILITY, ROBUSTNESS, AND RESPONSIBILITY

While structural strength and stability of individual elements are certainly important, the reliability of entire steel systems is imperative. Our approach ensures this kind of holistic reliability.

As extreme events, both natural and manmade, become more pervasive, a robust structural system is essential. Steel systems create functional and safe structures able to withstand earthquakes, fire, blast, wind, snow, and other adverse conditions.

Tile, reading "Responsible" with an icon of the earth, two trees, a sprout, stars, a sun, and hearts. This is to represent environmental responsibility.

Steel systems are the environmentally responsible choice, providing superior performance through a range of measures, including circularity, embodied carbon, energy efficiency, and cradle-to-cradle performance.
