simply given a twenty-page packet describing the rules for the competition, and the rest is for the students to figure out for themselves. The rules give information on span length, dimension requirements on members, loading amounts, construction rules, and judging criteria. https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/danaher2/ Location: Crane Bay This exhibit is suitable for: All ACI Concrete Cylinder Competition BEYOND IMAGINATION 19 ASCE ACI Students mix their own batches of concrete, and then load them in compression. The contestant with the cylinder that withstands the greatest load is awarded prizes. Location: Crane Bay This exhibit is suitable for: All MidAmerica Earthquake Center Water Environment Association ASCE Build your own model with K’Nex and see how your design would react in an earthquake on our mini shake table. Also, learn more about how real buildings react and what modern techniques engineers are using to help keep structures safe when earthquakes occur. Location: Crane Bay This exhibit is suitable for: All Railroad Engineering WEA Students interested in water and environmental issues are invited to join this interdisciplinary professional organization on campus. This organization gives students opportunities to attend the Water Environment Federation State, Regional, and National Conferences; tour industry sites; gain professional contacts; and participate in social activities and community service. Location: Crane Bay This exhibit is suitable for: All Newmark Laboratories 205 N. Mathews Avenue, Urbana Map Code: K Newmark Laboratories is home to the Department of Civil Engineering. ASCE All Aboard!!! Take the fast-track to our booth! Talk to industry representatives, grab some free stuff, and take the locomotive simulator for a spin. We hope to demonstrate the inner workings of the railroad industry along with teaching important safety guidelines. This will surely bring out the railroader in everyone!!! Location: Crane Bay and 1233 This exhibit is suitable for: All Pavement Designs Transportation Today ASCE / ATREL Learn the different types of pavement structures exist for highways, roads, and airport runways with a 3-D cross-section of a pavement. Also learn about new technological advances in improving the performance (less cracking and less noise) and extending the service life of existing pavements. Location: Crane Bay This exhibit is suitable for: All ASCE Come see real size traffic lights, and explore the new Light Emitting Diode (LED) signals. Also, stop by the display to measure your perception reaction time. In the area of pavement research, new asphalt and concrete mixes have been proposed to allow for longer pavement life. Location: Crane Bay This exhibit is suitable for: All Earthquake Engineering ASCE / NEES Come and see the 50 foot long and 5 foot thick strong wall used to test structures for earthquake loads. Learn about earthquake engineering and see actual tests in the new Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) lab. Location: Crane Bay This exhibit is suitable for: All
