EPDACI held its annual student beam contest at Widener University earlier this month! Eight teams representing four colleges participated. This year’s contest consisted of designing and constructing a uniform depth reinforced concrete beam spanning 3’-0” reinforced with #3 bars and weighing not more than 50 pounds to achieve the highest possible ultimate load to weight ratio! Widener placed third in the event with a load/weight ratio of 153!

Senior Project Highlight! A group of CE seniors partnered with Conewago Manufacturing LLC, a leading ready-mix concrete supplier in the mid-Atlantic region to examine three different commercial nanomaterials to determine their optimal dosages in concrete mixes. This allows us to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete, as cement production contributes to about 8% of global carbon emissions!
