Universities in Florida and Illinois hosted regional FRC Bowling Ball Competitions for local university students in their state. The objective of these competitions is to demonstrate the effect of fibers reinforcing concrete, to gain experience in forming and fabricating a fiber-reinforced concrete element, and to encourage creativity in engineering design and analysis. Five teams from Florida universities participated in the regional FRC Bowling Ball Competition hosted by Florida Concrete & Products Association (FCPA) on Friday, February 16, 2018 in Orlando, FL, USA. The students represented teams from the University of Miami, Florida International University, and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. The ACI-University of Miami Student Chapter won the $1,500 prize for first place and the ASCE-University of Miami Student Chapter received $1,000 for second place.
