March 3/31 Mix Design Update

The executive decision to make the canoe one mix instead of two was made. This lightweight mix consists of Type I concrete, hycrete, elemix, poraver, and a slate aggregate. While making the canoe, cylinders were made from each mix and all of the cylinders float which is a great success. The team created a spreadsheet with knowledge from Dr. Bechtels materials lab to calculate the exact weight of materials needed for each mix used in the canoe.
