AB  - This project consists of designing and testing a concrete canoe for ASCE’s student symposium. ASCE’s concrete canoe competition focuses on giving students project management experience along with material design and structural analysis. The materials used can have varying effects and have different environmental impacts. This project tries to find a solution to create a lightweight concrete mix, made of environmentally sustainable materials, while also having the required strength. To accomplish this different mix designs were developed and tested to check for the desired material properties. The hull design was also analyzed to find the minimum required strength of the concrete. Once the canoe was poured calculations on sinking force were performed and floatation was added to the end caps to increase the floatation of the canoe.
