Title:

UNH Concrete Canoe

The ASCE Concrete Canoe competition is a nation-wide competition challenging students to build and race canoes made of concrete. The competition has been happening since the 1960’s and is well known by civil engineers across the country. Each year a new set of guidelines is provided to specify the mix-design and construction of the canoe. The goal of this project is to use engineering skills to create a proper concrete mix-design and to design and build a canoe that is hydrodynamic. This year, UNH competed for the first time since 2015. Over the course of the 2022-2023 school year, the team was able to design and build an 18.5 foot long canoe using a lightweight concrete design with a 1.5 specific gravity and 2500 pound per square inch compressive strength. The canoe is set to compete on the weekend of April 21st-23rd.
