  • OBJECTIVE :

    Concrete is an inevitable part of any type of construction. Here comes your ‘Conquest’ to design concrete cylinders which are able to sustain maximum tensile load which is one of the major load acting in any structure. But the real challenge is to achieve maximum tensile strength. Tensile strength of concrete is very important in structures subjected to tensile stresses i.e. water storage tanks, pipes, cantilever members in structure etc. In our event maximum split tensile strength will considered for winning criteria.

    Sponsored By:-


    Rules

    1. The concrete cylinder should be of age 28 days at the day of event
    2. Use of admixtures and fibres is allowed
    3. Continuous fibres  reinforcement steel bars or mesh  are  not allowed
    4. Mention all details clearly about fibres admixtures and concrete mix in ‘mix design sheet’
    5. Prepare mix design report which will include the followings:-
      1. Introduction
      2. Ingredients of concrete (material description and properties.)
      3. Step wise mixing procedure
      4. Details concrete mix design
    6. Mix design report must be signed by head of your department with their stamp
    7. Rules may be changed without prior intimation, participants are requested to check the Mind-spark website for updates
    8. In case of disputes , the decision of event head and judges  will be final and binding to all
    9. Teams are expected to maintain decorum. We reserve the right to disqualify any team found to behaving inappropriately.
    10. All team members must come with college ID cards.

    A. Only fiber reinforcement will be allowed.

     

     

    10) Is there any weightage to techniques of mix design and fibers used?

    A. Yes, definitely. When two or more than two concrete specimens will give same split  tensile strength.

     

    11. Can students who are not from the Civil department take part in Conquest?
