Hull Design 11/21/17

The Hull Deign Team has been making crucial progress toward selecting dimensions of the canoe. Having completed the research on the shapes and features of the canoe, the team is able to focus on comparing and analyzing the total length and beam width combinations of different canoes. The team has come up with 16 potential design alternatives that will be compared to one another for stability and resistance. Stay tuned for the final designs!

Mix Design Update 11/21/17

The Mix Design Team is finishing up their third set of mix combinations. They have been analyzing their cubes to find concrete compressive strength and specific weight. Recently, one of their cubes reached a compressive strength of 1.4 ksi which is more than enough for the canoe. They will be able to add more admixtures to lessen the strength a but make the mix more floatable. TCNJ Trition is one step closer to choosing their final mixes.
