Professional projects
Professional structural engineers will have a chance to compete in the following steel and concrete categories:
- Small scale structures (low-rise buildings, or any other small scale structure that doesn't fall into the other categories)
- Large scale buildings (commercial, residential, retail outlets, universities, hotels, hospitals ...)
- Infrastructure, industrial & recreational structures (bridges, power plants, oil & gas, stadium, warehouses, distribution centers)
Winners will be picked by a jury formed of fellow structural engineers, academics, and senior IDEA StatiCa specialists. There will be the Prize of the Public to the professional project with the highest overall number of votes.
Young talents
Students have few chances to present real projects so we have decided to create special categories to get their work recognized.
Structural engineering students who have experience with IDEA StatiCa will have the chance to compete in both the steel and concrete project categories.
The winners of each category in both the young talents and professional categories will be announced on the Global User Day 2021.
