Meet this year`s Big Beam competition champions! 👷♂️🎉
Grad students Logan Bonner and Conrad Kang took first place at this year’s PCI Big Beam competition, where teams design, build and test a 20-foot concrete beam.
Logan said it was a chance to “load test” everything he’d learned in class. Conrad said the project gave him a whole new perspective on structural design.
Congrats to Logan, Conrad and their advisor Gregory Lucier, manager of our Constructed Facilities Lab! 🐺
