  • How to Construct a Concrete Canoe Construction Report 2011
    How to construct a concrete canoe Construction Report 2011 Enschede, May 2011 BetonBrouwers Study Association ConcepT School of Civil Engineering - University of Twente Preface Preceding on what is coming we want to outline the amount of work that has been shifted by the BetonBrouwers1 and everyone that bears a warm heart towards BetonBrouwen. The concrete canoe challenges in Eindhoven (NL) and Magdeburg (DU) are approaching rapidly, meaning that a year of hard work has passed. And how.... Based on our experiences from seasons 2007 & 2008 a new design and a lightweight concrete mixture were developed for season 2009. With an in theory very competitive concrete canoe, we participated in the Dutch and German competition. Luckily it turned out that it was not only a very competitive canoe in theory but also on the water. Season 2009 became the biggest success in the history of the BetonBrouwers. By dominating the Dutch competition and by winning the men’s race in Germany the BetonBrouwers became ‘European Champion’! In 2010 we dominated the Dutch competition again with the same successful design, but with a new concrete mixture. Since the German competition only takes place once in two years, it’s this year that we can defend our title of the men’s race. Because our neighbours will be very keen on getting the challenge cup back to Germany, it meant that we had to develop even better canoes. As in fact this year’s goal was to improve the design. Already in an early stage we found not much could be improved, but only optimised.

  • The Vanderbilt Concrete Canoe Design Project: the Little Engine That Canoed
    The Vanderbilt Concrete Canoe Design Project: The Little Engine that Canoed Stephen Schmitt School of Engineering of Vanderbilt University The Vanderbilt’s Concrete Canoe (VCC) Team has a competitive history at the Southeastern Regional ASCE Conference, placing in the top five schools throughout the past three years. The most recent concrete canoe project was named The Little Engine That Canoed in 2006 to honor Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt’s origins in the railroad industry and as a reminder of the power of persistence. Developing The Little Engine was a small portion of the overall project objectives. The design team first compiled a significant body of literature that systematically outlined the steps for a successful concrete canoe project. The Little Engine boasts a fresh hull, three-dimensional finite element analysis, and an optimized concrete composite. The canoe construction efforts yielded a female mold, canoe carrier, and stands. Team members found the process of modeling the V-shaped bow and stern sections and a rounded stern stem to be the most challenging obstacles. Three-dimensional analysis was performed for the first time in school history and provided insight into graduate level coursework. Similarly, designing a concrete composite to withstand the rigors of competition required the use of a polymer to replace water in the concrete mix. To reach new heights, the team utilized a functional break- down structure. Teamwork and communication, in the face of limited manpower, resulted in performing over 800 man-hours of concrete canoe related activities during a two-year period. The 2006 Vanderbilt Concrete Canoe Hull Development (HD) Team envisioned The Little Engine that Canoed as the product of methodical research and design and creativity.

  • The Role of Student Chapters in Improving Ce Programs
    Session 3215 THE ROLE OF STUDENT CHAPTERS IN IMPROVING CE PROGRAMS Allen C. Estes, Eric M. Lachance, and Mark D. Evans United States Military Academy, West Point, NY Introduction ASCE Student Chapters and Clubs add tremendous value to civil engineering (CE) programs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The value added can and should be tied back to program objectives and outcomes as part of a regular, formal program assessment process. This paper will describe the activities of the student chapter at the United States Military Academy (USMA), describe the USMA civil engineering program outcomes, and show how many of the chapter activities support these program outcomes and add value to the Civil Engineering program. The USMA Student Chapter Student chapter leaders and members are faced with many unique challenges that affect chapter activities. USMA students have an unusually high level of mandatory requirements outside the classroom that restrict the time available for extracurricular activities. These requirements, which include physical training classes, mandatory meal attendance, military drill and ceremony, and compulsory intramural sports participation, limit the student chapter’s ability to plan long- duration events. Therefore, student leaders focus their efforts on short duration activities, trying to get the biggest benefit for the most valuable student resource: time. With limited and tightly controlled increments of available time, we attempt to tailor our activities to accommodate this constraint. Those USMA chapter activities that add the greatest value to our CE program, are listed below, and described in the sections that follow: • Community service and outreach through adopt-a-highway clean up, Habitat for Humanity participation, and support of those community service independent study projects in the CE program 6.
