MANHATTAN — The Kansas State University Concrete 1xbet online sports betting team took second place at its regional competition while serving as hosts for the Mid-America Student Symposium in April.
The weekendlong American Society of Civil Engineers, or ASCE, event featured 15 student chapters from around the region with races held at Tuttle Creek State Park.
The competition challenges participants to create a functioning 1xbet online sports betting 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.
"It was amazing to see our 1xbet online sports betting and team perform so well," said Amelia Mullin, senior in architectural engineering, Shawnee. "We put in a lot of time and effort this year, and I think it definitely paid off."
Hunter Meier, senior in civil engineering, Lincoln, said the team took a new approach with this year's design, changing strategies from previous years while also creating a much lighter 1xbet online sports betting that weighed 300 pounds.
"The team decided to do a segmental pre-casted concrete 1xbet online sports betting , meaning that instead of one solid 1xbet online sports betting , our 1xbet online sports betting was made in two-foot sections and post tensioned together using 22 steel cables strategically placed throughout the walls of the 1xbet online sports betting ," Meier said. "The benefits of this design include an increase in quality control, efficient and easy repairs, a decrease in the number of people needed to create the 1xbet online sports betting and the availability to change the length of the 1xbet online sports betting ."
Christopher Jones, Wallis-Lage Family Cornerstone teaching scholar and associate professor in the civil engineering department at 1xbet online sports betting , is the team's faculty advisor.
