MANHATTAN — The Kansas State University Concrete Canoe team will compete at the 35th annual American Society of Civil Engineers' Concrete Canoe Competition finals after a second-place finish at the regional Mid-America Student Symposium in May.
The competition, which will feature 19 qualifiers from 10 regions, will be June 3-5 on the campus of Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, Louisiana.
The competition challenges teams to create a functioning canoe made of concrete. The process includes designing a hull, performing structural analysis and finally designing a concrete mixture that satisfies the strength requirements found in the structural analysis. Teams are judged for their final product, design paper, oral presentation and race finishes. Races include men's and women's sprints and endurance races.
The canoes are also built around a theme, with 1xbet online games login choosing Triton's Trireme as its theme for 2022.
"As a team, we feel honored to represent 1xbet online games login at the competition," said Maddie Akers, senior in civil engineering and geology. "Seeing our hard work pay off has been a tremendous reward."
Hunter Meier, senior 1xbet online games login , said the team bonded as it prepared for regional competition on the Iowa State University campus in Ames, Iowa.
"Our team had grown close during the weeks and months leading up to the competition in Ames," he said. "To advance to the national competition in Ruston will further solidify this bond and we look forward to competing again next year."
Christopher Jones, Wallis-Lage Family Cornerstone teaching scholar and associate professor in the civil engineering department at 1xbet online games login , is the team's faculty advisor.
