Abstract:
In the spring of 1998, the Student Activities Committee of the ACI New Jersey Chapter proposed a concrete cylinder strength contest for local students. Since then, the contest has grown from a matchup between New Jersey’s most competitive concrete schools into the ACI Concrete Cylinder Competition, which drew 24 teams to the ACI Fall 2006 Convention in Denver, CO. Two of the people involved in launching the original competition show how the international contest came to be.
