Concrete Cylinder Testing/Civil Engineering Night

Civilpics

In this event, Explorers will learn about civil engineering by checking out concrete. Students will design or test concrete cylinders.

Changing the mix of the concrete will change its strength, which can be seen when the cylinders are squeezed with high pressure. When will they break? How durable are they? That depends on how the Explorers design them.
