Structural Concrete 2014 sets a demanding challenge for all students studying structural design as part of a UK university BEng, MEng or MSc degree course in civil and/or structural engineering.
The competition aims to encourage interest and raise competence in designing with concrete. It offers a stimulating challenge to students, while supporting the curricula of civil and structural engineering departments of UK universities. The main benefit for a student is in being able to present his/her work to prospective employers, some of whom are involved in setting and judging the competition. The national winners will be presented with their prizes at a ceremony in London where their award winning entries will be shown.
There will also be a sustainability award for the student who demonstrates the best understanding of this subject in his/her submission. These awards reflect a significant commitment from the judges who, together with The Concrete Centre, have carefully developed this year’s competition. Initiative, creativity, aesthetic appreciation and accuracy are called for, and will be assessed by the judges. Above all, this competition has been designed to stretch the technical competence of the students taking part.
