K-STATE STUDENTS TAKE FIRST PLACE IN AMERICAN CONCRETE INSTITUTE'S INTERNATIONAL 1xbet online games login

MANHATTAN -- A Kansas State University team of construction science and management students recently took first place in the American Concrete Institute's international concrete construction 1xbet online games login .

Students will present their winning entry and receive a 0 award March 21 at the American Concrete Institute's convention in Chicago. Team members also received 0 as travel support to the convention, and their entry will be published in Concrete International magazine.

The 1xbet online games login involved determining the most environmentally conscientious concrete formula for a pre-designed parking structure in Chicago.

According to K-State's Kimberly Kramer, associate professor of architectural engineering and construction science and faculty adviser to K-State's student chapter of the American Concrete Institute, K-State has a winning tradition in the 1xbet online games login . Kramer said that K-State has finished first or second in the 1xbet online games login since 2005, and that K-State has more first-place finishes in the 1xbet online games login than any other team in the world.

"As their faculty adviser, I am very proud of our students and believe this 1xbet online games login is very beneficial to the students," Kramer said. "Recently, I had a K-State graduate who participated in the 1xbet online games login as a student tell me he had to do a task similar to the 1xbet online games login at his job this past year. His employer was impressed by how well he completed the task."

Also assisting the team was Kyle Riding, K-State assistant professor of civil engineering.
