Introducing Constructalia’s newest feature: SiCA – Steel in Construction Academy
It is with great pleasure that we introduce SiCA: Steel in Construction Academy, latest development available for free on digital platform Constructalia, ArcelorMittal’s steel for construction website.
SiCA is a self-learning online platform for those in, or joining, the construction industry focussed on the use of steel as the material of choice for construction applications and required performances.
The story of SiCA
Almost 30 years ago, a consortium of more than 200 European steel and steel construction specialists came together to implement a training programme to further the development of the use of steel in construction. Usinor-Sacilor and Arbed, now ArcelorMittal, were part of this consortium and participated extensively. Called ESDEP (European Steel Design Education Programme), it was completed and published in many countries in books, articles, and presentations. However, aside from a few universities publishing the complete works, the full content was rarely disseminated.
Three years ago, the Constructalia team decided to take all of this content and revise, update, and enrich it. This is how SiCA was born. The first 61 lectures have just been unveiled – soon to be followed by many more.
With the help of experts, ArcelorMittal have paid particular attention to updating as per the current standards and regulations, especially to comply with the most recent versions of the Eurocodes. Company also included new products and solutions in connection with our site content.
This is just the beginning
Topics such as sustainable construction with steel, energy efficiency, or the circular economy were not of great importance all those years ago when this content was first created. Not only have we updated the content to meet the needs of these now very important topics, but such themes will be the subject of upcoming lectures.
