In the 1960s the history of Concrete Canoe in the United
States essentially began when a small number of ASCE student section start holding
intramural Concrete Canoe races.
In 1971 the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign
organized the first intercollegiate race next to Purdue. Back to the thirty
years as the students’ hard work to unite engineering superiority and hydrodynamic
plan to build water commendable canoes have conclude in an higher form of
concrete building and racing technique known as the America’s Cup of Civil
Engineering. ASCE prolonged the contest to the national level in 1988 at the
time of Master Builders, Inc.
In its first year, 18 teams of excited civil
engineering students from the nation’s premier academic programs get together
in East Lansing, Micah to test the waters of this ground-breaking and
educational experience. The contest became a great achievement with local winner’s
peripatetic across the country by airplane train and Ryder truck, canoes in
tow, in their mission to become National Concrete Canoe Competition champions. As
contest was rising here in the United States, the idea had also in use embraced
in other countries. Today, concrete canoe racing take place around the world in
places like United Arab Emirates, Canada, South Africa, Japan and the Germany
and with finance from ASCE and the ACI (American Concrete Institute). The University of Wisconsin - Madison 2007
National Concrete Canoe Competition winner was journey to the Netherlands to participate
the United States in the 30th Annual Dutch Concrete Canoe championship.
More
than 200 teams struggle in 18 consultation contest to qualify for contribution
at the national level in 2008. The Concrete Canoe contest is intended to
provide civil engineering students with a chance to increase practical, experience
and management skills by effective with concrete mix plan and task managing.
Organizers, support and contributor are devoted to structure consciousness of
concrete knowledge and appliance with the flexibility and stability of concrete
as a building material, among civil engineering students, instructor and
practitioners the concrete industry and the universal public. They also struggle
to increase attentiveness among business leaders, opinion makers and the universal
public of civil manufacturing as a dynamic and innovative profession necessary
to society. In its 21-year history, the National Concrete Canoe Competition has
tackle the knowledge, thoughts and endurance of more than 400 teams and 5000
students.
