The FRC Bowling Ball Competition was held on Sunday, April 2, 2023, during the ACI Concrete Convention in San Francisco, CA, USA. Thirty-three teams from the USA, Canada, Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Guatemala, Taiwan, the Philippines, India, Poland and Puerto Rico submitted projects for judging in this year’s competition sponsored by ACI Committees 544 Fiber-Reinforced Concrete, 544-B FRC Education, 239 Ultra-High-Performance Concrete and 239-E Educational Outreach, and S801 Student Competitions Committee. The undergraduate university teams are challenged to demonstrate the behavior of fiber reinforcement within concrete to gain experience in forming and fabricating a fiber-reinforced concrete element, and to encourage creativity in engineering design predictions and analysis testing. Teams were judged in two categories – bowling ball design prediction and bowling ball analysis test. Cash prizes were awarded ranging from $750 USD, $500 USD, and $250 USD for first, second, and third prizes respectively. Bowling Ball Design Prediction Bowling Ball Analysis Test ACI hosts two team-based student competitions every year for undergraduate students in conjunction with the ACI Concrete Convention. The Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Compositive Beam Competition will take place on October 29, 2023 at the Boston Convention Center & Westin Boston Waterfront, in Boston, MA USA. Registration closes on September 15, 2023. Visit the FRC Bowling Ball homepage to view the Overall Results and learn more about ACI Concrete Competitions.
