Concrete beam construction myself and two other classmates were given the challenge to design a beam with a specific amount of concrete and rebar. It was then tested for structural integrity against beams by other teams. completed in Construction Systems class, second semester.
Testing the beam
Another beam challenge in our construction systems class. This time it was to build a specific length beam out of balsa wood and chip board. The testing first weighed the completed beam and then tested it to see how much weight it would support. This was designed by myself and Juliane Kuminski. Our beam won, proportionally holding more weight than others in the class!
