Concrete Canoe

The concrete canoe will hopefully be displayed in the soils lab in ENT with props relating to the theme, racecar. Our canoe is named Turbo Tiger and it does, in fact, float. We use lightweight concrete and specific admixtures that create concrete with a unit weight as close to water as possible, allowing the large canoe to float. The canoe will be on display for people to touch and admire, with multiple of our team members standing by to answer any questions. In the past, we have been asked to describe practical applications for lightweight concrete, as well as answering questions about how we did in our recent regional competition.
