On Sunday, April 14, ASCE held its Metropolitan Conference for the Concrete Canoe Competition at Cooks Pond in Denville. Showing up wearing their hula skirts and leis, TCNJ Tiki went into the day with a positive attitude and was looking forward to seeing their hard work put to the test succeed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The morning began with inspection of both the canoe and the\ndisplay table. The display table included a poster outline the design\ncomponents, a copy of the design report, 500 mL samples of all cementitious\nmaterials and aggregates used, a 1\u2019 x 1\u2019 sample of reinforcing mesh, and 2\ncylinders of the mix design selected. Additionally, a 4\u2019 display section of the\ncanoe demonstrating the application of the concrete and mesh was included. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the day moved on, the first event was the Swamp Test. The\nteam must submerge the canoe under water, and it must float back up to the\nsurface within 2 minutes, and the canoe was successful! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next event of the day was the Sprint Race. In both a male\nand female race, two team members must paddle from the starting line, to a buoy\non the other side of the lake and back in the fastest time possible. The male\nteam consisted of Bobby and Jack, who struggled to maneuver the canoe and were\nforced to jump out and swim to shore. The team realized the boys had taken the\ncanoe out backwards, which made it hard to maneuver. The female team consisted\nof Taylor and Nicole. After correcting the problem of the backwards canoe, the girls\ntook second overall with a time of 3 minutes and 18 seconds. Lastly, the co-ed\nrace consisted of two laps back and forth across the lake, and had a team of\nfour team members in the canoe, Jeremy, Jack, Nicole, and Taylor. The team\nworked together and got fourth place, with a time of 6 minutes and 18 seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
