2024 Pervious Concrete Cylinder Student Competition Winners

11/5/2024

The Pervious Concrete Cylinder Competition was held on Sunday, November 3, 2024, during the ACI Concrete Convention in Philadelphia, PA, USA.

Thirty teams from the USA, Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Guatemala, Chile, and Puerto Rico submitted projects for judging in this year’s competition sponsored by ACI Committee 522 Pervious Concrete.

The undergraduate university teams are challenged to apply sustainability concepts and use their knowledge of concrete mixture design by producing pervious concrete, which balances permeability and splitting tensile strength. Teams were judged in two categories - cylinder performance and best-in-show mixture. Cash prizes were awarded ranging from $750 USD, $500 USD, and $250 USD for first, second, and third prizes respectively.
