K-STATE 1xbet online casino SCIENCE STUDENTS TIE FOR FIRST PLACE IN INTERNATIONAL 1xbet online casino COMPETITION
MANHATTAN -- Four Kansas State University students in 1xbet online casino science and management tied for first place in a recent international concrete 1xbet online casino competition sponsored by the American Concrete Institute.
The team received 0 in prize money and 0 in travel support to attend the American Concrete Institute convention, March 15-19, in San Antonio, Texas, where they will present their problem results and receive the award.
The competition involved developing a proposal for the restoration of a pedestrian overpass in Houston, Texas. The proposal included a cost estimate, work plan and 1xbet online casino schedule to accomplish the work based on reference to the American Concrete Institute's Manual Concrete Practice. After receiving the problem, teams had seven days to come up with their solution. The entries were judged on clarity, technical quality and economy. K-State was one of 50 teams to compete in the international contest.
This was the seventh competition that the American Concrete Institute 1xbet online casino Liaison Committee and the American Society of Concrete Contractors have conducted. K-State student teams from the department of architectural engineering and 1xbet online casino science, under the supervision of their faculty adviser, Kimberly Kramer, associate professor of architectural engineering and 1xbet online casino science, have competed in all seven contests. K-State teams have finished in the top three in six of the seven competitions, including three first-place finishes, the most wins by any university in the competition, according to Kramer.
Along with Kramer, providing assistance to the team was K-State's Richard Pikul, assistant professor of architectural engineering and 1xbet online casino science.
Team members, all seniors in 1xbet online casino science and management, include:
Matt Cline, Mission; Michael Clifford, Overland Park; Blake Brosa, Ozawkie, project manager; and Tyler Dehn, Wichita.
