Event Information

Objectives-


The objective of the competition is to create awareness and promote right application of concrete mix design principles among professionals, practicing engineers & builders having Laboratory testing facilities. Concrete is widely used in construction. However, there is a need to create further awareness about the quality of concrete and the growing need to affect economy in the face of ever-rising cost of materials. Therefore, mix proportioning of concrete assumes a great importance. The mix proportioning for developing improved properties of concrete always fascinates a civil engineer. A properly designed concrete for a particular application keeping in mind the specific requirements in terms of workability, strength, durability and economy can affect substantial savings and long life of the structure. This competition provides an opportunity for the students of engineering institutes and the young engineers working in the construction field to understand the characteristic behavior of Different proportions of concrete by having hands on experience and ultimately arrive at the desired final mix. Practical hands-on experience gained by the participants during competition would help them in their future endeavors in developing quality concrete.

Registration fee : 500 /- per group. Max 3 participants
Prize Amount : 1st prize – Rs.10,000/- with Certificate
2nd Price – Rs.7,000/- with Certificate
