EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
For the past 16 years, Miami
has been the home for Ultra Music
Festival, a celebration of electronic
music that not only fills the city
with vibrant and colorful people,
but also generates an economic
boom year after year with tourists
coming from all over the world.
This annual music festival has
become a tradition for the young
generation in Miami, and it is for
that reason that UM-ASCE
Concrete Canoe team decided to call
the 2015 canoe, Ultra. With this theme, we hoped to exemplify the University of Miami’s
energetic, driven, and enthusiastic attitude and bring that excitement to the 2015 ASCE
Southeastern Student Conference, as a taste of one of Miami’s most famous events.
The University of Miami is located in the heart of Coral Gables, Florida and has
become one of the most diverse academic institutions in the nation. Founded in 1925, the
University of Miami is currently home to over 15,000 students from across the globe. The
College of Engineering is one of 13 colleges at the University of Miami with approximately
1000 undergraduate students, 160 of whom study in the Civil, Architectural, and
Environmental Engineering Department.
Each year, the University of Miami’s Concrete Canoe Team competes in the
Southeastern Student Conference (SESC). In 2005, the team revived its canoe program
after a brief hiatus with The U-boat. Four years later, our team made it to top ten two years
in a row with The Storm Surge and ¡La Fuerza! Two years ago, The Heat turned out to be
the best University of Miami canoe finished product through the use of a female mold for
construction.
This being our 10th year
competing and learning from
previous mistakes, we are
confident that Ultra will have great
chances of placing and perhaps
going to Nationals. We hope to be
making University of Miami’s
Concrete Canoe history. Ultra will
showcase the knowledge and
experience that the University of
Miami ASCE chapter has acquired
in the design and construction of
past concrete canoes. Having designed to sail through the water at high speeds with smooth
and stable turns, Ultra will be a top contender at the 2015 SESC.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The project management of Ultra incorporated an upgraded method of construction
with proven quality controls to build upon past weaknesses with new designs and
innovations.
To stay on task, responsibilities were divided by the co-captains amongst the team
members. Major milestones included hull design completion, final mixture selection, mold
completion, canoe casting, and form removal. Prior to the release of the 2015 concrete
canoe rules, a tentative schedule was formulated to accomplish these tasks. Multiple
makeup days and contingency plans were formulated to ensure Ultra would be completed
in time for the competition. This schedule allowed the team to keep on track and on budget
despite several hiccups along the way. The project was consistently at or close to the initial
schedule, allowing time to institute levels of quality control. The prescribed schedule also
allowed extra time to implement new ideas, such as a three-part modular mold design.
The team observed proper preparation methods for each task and safety measures
were always a top priority. Required safety standards were implemented for each
individual phase of the project and updated Material Safety Data Sheets for the materials
used were readily available.
Safety was of the utmost concern
throughout the process, both in the
construction phase and the testing phase.
The construction site and the lab were kept
clean, organized, properly ventilated, and
properly lighted at all times. The use of
gloves, masks, and protective eyewear was
a requirement for anyone working with or
near chemicals and certain harmful
materials. Use of power tools was limited to members with proper training and experience.
Closed toed shoes were mandatory during construction sessions to minimize the risk of
injury to any members of the team.
Quality control was of high importance during the construction of Ultra.
Experienced team members arranged teaching sessions to demonstrate proper casting
techniques for the new members. This training helped immensely to familiarize the whole
team with the construction process. At least one of the co-captains was present at every
construction or testing session to provide expertise and oversee development. This year’s
team was incredibly devoted and dedicated to their project, resulting in the clean and stylish
finished product of Ultra.

HULL DESIGN
The 2015 concrete canoe team set out upon designing a new and innovative shape
for Ultra. This was done by studying the previous year’s design and understanding what
problems the canoe and rowers experienced while it was in the water. We determined there
were two main concerns, which ultimately defined the final hull design for this year’s
canoe: thickness of the hull, and the width and length of the canoe.
The 2014 concrete canoe, The Concrete Jungle, had suffered a longitudinal crack
in its keel during the competition, which compromised the seaworthiness of the entire
canoe. Our primary objective for this year’s canoe was to ensure the integrity of the
structure during the long drive to conference and under the stresses of competition. In
order to increase the strength of the canoe, we developed multiple options to ensure that
this year’s competition went smoothly.
The first measure we implemented in Ultra was to increase the thickness of the keel
of the canoe to a minimum of ¾ inch from ½ inch. The Concrete Jungle, had suffered a
crack running through the keel, which had been constructed too thinly. To account for
discrepancies inherently present between the design and the actual finished product, we
conservatively increased the thickness of the hull by 50% to insure that such an event didn’t
occur again.
The second measure we implemented was to
use two layers of reinforcement that consisted of two
unique meshes. The first mesh consisted of a uniaxial
carbon fiber polymer that would allow the keel to
resist the tensile stresses experienced along the
longitudinal axis. This layer was placed closer to the
water than the second layer, which would allow it to
better handle the longitudinal tensile forces. The
second layer was a biaxial Ruredil X gold mesh that
lent the canoe tensile strength in both the longitudinal
and latitudinal directions.
The rowers from 2014 concrete canoe
commented that they felt cramped inside the canoe, especially during the 4 person races.
They also complained that the canoe did not feel very stable while they turned. To fix this
problem, the design team decided that they would make the canoe 21.5 feet long and 36
inch wide in order to increase the space available to rowers. This also had the added
advantage that it allowed us to decrease the height of the walls of the canoe, permitting
rowers of any size to easily reach over the sides with their paddles.
After thorough consideration of the final design for the canoe, the team concluded
that a combination of a thicker, wider and more stable canoe would be the key to our
success this year. This innovative design will help Ultra sail through its competition this
year.

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
Ultra was analyzed structurally by focusing on the critical loads and bending
scenarios placed on the canoe, as well as hydrodynamically, concentrating on the manner
in which the canoe must travel through the water. Ultra spans 21.5 feet and is 36 inches at
its widest point. Using the STAAD Pro software for 2-D analysis, an estimate of the
maximum shear and moment values were obtained which would be compared to our
material testing data to confirm our canoe would safely resist the stresses exerted on the
canoe during construction, finishing and racing.
The first and most critical load scenario for Ultra is its removal from the mold. The
concrete is its youngest at the time of removal (14 days) and at this point our concrete
would reach a compressive strength of roughly 1200 psi. During removal stresses are
placed in localized points and great care must be taken not to over exert the canoe. Utilizing
a female mold bending moments are applied when the gunwales are facing upward. To
start, the moment demand of the canoe was found using a 2D beam model, checking its
capacity with STAAD Pro. The loading was assigned as a distributed load upward with
simple supports at two points which would resist the force. Based on the results, a canoe
with 1.2 ksi strength and a thickness of 0.75” was chosen and sufficient under these loading
conditions.
The first loading scenario modeled was measured for the highest loading condition,
the four person co-ed race. It was assumed that each person would exert 75 pounds on each
knee. The hydrostatic pressure was confirmed after determining the equilibrium of the
model without a floating component and a linear triangular hydrostatic pressure
distribution analysis was sought to address this loading condition. Additionally, the racing
conditions, including the rowing action and rocking of the canoe, make for another critical
scenario. To account for the rocking during paddling, the model was assigned spring
supports spaced at the bottom surface to emulate the forces from the water conditions. The
areas of concern were the curved regions of the canoe as our canoe cracked on the gunwales
in past years. A maximum moment of 673 lb-in was calculated along the curved areas as
well as the stresses due to hydrostatic forces; 12.3 ksi in compression and 8.5 ksi in tension.
The critical areas of the canoe are the gunwale and keel. More notably, we realized that if
the canoe was not smooth and harmonious stresses would not dissipate down the canoe,
we would likely exceed our allowable compressive and tensile strengths.
Transporting and displaying the canoe provided another loading scenario. Two
stands, spaced 10 feet apart and spanning the width of the canoe, are used for canoe display,
acting as rollers for support. Similar to the first scenario, the shear and moment are
equivalent in magnitude and opposite in direction. This year for transport, our loading
scenario has decreased and become almost negligible with the use of the female mold. The
mold itself will act as the transport cradle for the canoe, bracing it at all points.
The Ultra’s largest stress, up to 925 psi, was during mold removal. While on the
display, the stress could approach 640 psi. After carefully analyzing our loading conditions,
we concluded that the critical facets of design contributing to a high level of performance
and future success include a concrete with a compressive strength of at least 1050psi.
These results were reassuring given that our concrete strength is 1,600 psi.

DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING
During the planning stage of this year’s UM-ASCE Concrete Canoe, the team was
determined to learn from past designs and improve not only the physical qualities of the
canoe, but also the workability and longevity of our design. We were focused on three main
goals for Ultra, which were as follows: (1) maintain a unit weight of the concrete lower
than 62.4pcf, (2) prevent cracks and holes from happening by increasing the compressive
and tensile strengths, and (3) improve workability during construction. Since the team was
satisfied with The Concrete Jungle’s (2013-2014 UM-ASCE concrete canoe) results, we
decided to base Ultra’s concrete mix on last year’s mix, with some improvements in the
construction and reinforcement. Because the unit weight, aesthetics, and strength were
similar from the 2013-2014 canoe, the team began much of the testing with the final mix
design from the The Concrete Jungle. Ultra’s concrete mix team maintained the same
composition altering one independent variable at a time. In the end, the team was able to
compare each test and establish the most desirable results.
Each batch of concrete was tested using the same
procedure. First, the team tested the compressive strength of
the mix using 3”x6” cylinders (ASTM C39). Additionally,
ASTM C138-10b was used to calculate the unit weights and
gravimetric air content of the concrete mix. The modulus of
rupture and flexural strength were obtained using 20” panels
in accordance with the three-point bending tests (ASTM
C78-10).
For fear that the set up in which the canoe would rest
during the curing period would not provide enough
moisture, the team decided to test to observe if the results
obtained in the lab were representative of the canoe in an
outdoor environment. In order to analyze this variable,
Ultra’s mix design team compared a cylinder placed in the
moisture room to one placed inside the canoe tent. As
predicted, the compressive strength of the concrete
decreased by nearly 300psi when not cured in direct moisture. Therefore, special measures
were taken to maintain adequate moisture during the time of curing. Humidifiers were
placed inside the tent, as it was essential to maintain an environment rich in moisture.
Past experiences of canoes cracking led to the decision to implement a second layer
of reinforcement and a third layer of mix. Therefore, developing ideal proportions of
cementitious materials were a top priority in order to maximize the strength while
maintaining or reducing Ultra’s total weight to an acceptable value. Building to decrease
the total weight of the canoe, we incorporated the use of fly ash and ground granulated
blast furnace slag to replace some of the cement. Various proportions of slag were tested
and it was determined that a 60% slag mix gave an optimum strength to weight ratio,
excellent binding to the cement, and sustainable characteristics. Additionally, a small
amount of fly ash was incorporated to further reduce the weight.
Once the cementitious proportions were finalized, the next step was to find
appropriate aggregates. Due to the success of the Poraver ® in the past years, the team first
experimented with various gradations of the glass spheres, opting to use the 0.5-1mm and

0.25-0.5mm gradation in Ultra’s mix. The team found that the 1-2mm size used in the past
did not provide ideal binding and workability, so this gradation was omitted.
In previous years, UM-ASCE concrete canoe team experimented with
incorporating perlite, a material commonly used in construction of lightweight plasters and
insulation. In general, Perlite proved unsuccessful as it soaked up large amounts of water
in the batch, reduced workability, and expanded when subjected to heat. It was determined
that the aggregates would only be composed of Poraver gradations.
To provide tensile reinforcing within the mix, Grace Strux Polypropelene fibers
were tested. The amount of fibers were varied during testing, and it was determined that
0.2% by weight was the optimum number for ample workability while still having
sufficient tensile capacity.
Textile grids to reinforce the entirety of the canoe were researched to increase the
structural performance of Ultra. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers were implemented
between the first and second layers of mix in order to increase the tensile capacity. We
used S&P ARMO-Mesh with a thickness of 0.157mm, and a theoretical tensile force of
628kN/m. Additionally, we used Ruredil X Mesh Gold, a textile typically used for seismic
retrofitting for masonry structures. Ruredil X Mesh Gold is composed of a
Poliparafenilenbenzobisoxazole(PBO) fiber unbalanced network with its rovings disposed
along two rectangular directions at a nominal spacing of 10 mm and 18mm with a width
of 2mm per roving. This results in a 46% open area. Additionally, while most FRP’s use
an epoxy resin, the X Mesh Gold uses a cementitious matrix to harden and bind the mesh
with the existing structure. However, the 2015 rules prohibited the use of such reinforcing
mortars. Therefore, the team researched the capacity of the mesh without the mortar.
Overall, we found that the mesh would adequately harden and bind with the cementitious
material from our 2015 mix design and the ultimate capacity in tension was reduced to
73%. We analyzed these two reinforcements since the CAE Department at the University
of Miami has extensively experimented with these structural reinforcement systems.
In addition, we incorporated admixtures that would add to the mix properties. The
first admixture we used was Darex® AEA®, which is an aqueous solution of a complex
mixture of organic acid salts. Darex AEA is specially formulated for use as an air-
entraining admixture for concrete. It complies with the requirements of the following

specifications for chemical admixtures for concrete: ASTM C260; AS1478 and AASHTO
M154. We also used WRDA® 60, a polymer based aqueous solution of complex organic
compounds. WRDA 60 produces concrete with lower water content (typically 8–10%
water reduction), improved workability and higher strengths. It complies with ASTM C494
Type A and D performance. Finally, we added UGL Drylock Latex to prevent water
intrusion into the mix.
In conclusion, for the 2015 concrete canoe various components behind the mix
design were researched and tested to obtain optimal results. Cement, aggregates, tensile
fibers, and admixtures were proportioned adequately to form Ultra’s concrete mix. Carbon
Fiber Reinforcement Polymer was used between the first and second layer of mix and X
Mesh Gold was used between the last two layers of mix to prevent cracking due to external
forces. Through development and testing of Ultra, is a structurally sound, lightweight, and
durable canoe, will be a top contender at the 2015 SESC.

CONSTRUCTION
The Mold
The 2015 concrete canoe began with the design and construction of a mold that
would enable the canoe to glide effortlessly through the water. The female mold allows
for a smooth exterior shape, which optimizes the canoe’s hydrodynamics and reduces the
drag caused by the water. Taking into account the success of the previous year’s canoe,
this year’s team decided that using a female mold would be crucial to the success of
Ultra. However, several changes were made during the construction of the mold to
account for the changes in the design of Ultra.
To build the female mold, a CAD model of the canoe and corresponding mold
were first created to optimize the design. This year’s design incorporated a three part
modular mold system that enabled us to more easily de-
mold the canoe than the previous years’ two part modular
mold. The design was divided into 20 unique sections
which were then printed onto 24”x36” sheets of paper.
Using a router, we precisely cut the pieces of plywood to
form the ribbing of the mold in accordance with the
drawings. After the sections had been cut, they were
attached together with the use of 2x4 wood beams and
self-drilling wood screws to form three modular mold
sections. Once all of the modules were completed, metal
flashing was attached to the top of the ribs using self-
drilling wood screws. The metal flashing ensured that
bottom of the canoe was smooth and glides through the
water efficiently
In keeping with the idea of improving the design of the canoe, the bow, stern and
keel line shape were of particular importance this year. Last year, the bow and stern were
raised above the keel, which decreased the stability of the canoe and created many
problems while, turning as were discussed in the hull design. As a result, the construction
team had to be very careful while assembling the mold
because of the complex shape of the keel line and the keel
being elevated above the bow and stern.
Casting and Finishing
In preparation for casting day, the canoe team had
many tasks to complete so that the casting could be done
in a timely and efficient manner. All the concrete
materials were measured out the day before.
Reinforcement was measured, cut, placed, and marked.

On the day of casting, the mold was checked to make certain
the sections would come apart on mold breaking day. The
joints between the modules were then sealed using blue
painters tape to insure that no concrete would fall between the
sections. The interior was wiped down with a generous
amount WD-40 to act as a releasing agent. Volunteers were
divided into three groups: batching team, mold team, and
reinforcement team. Each team worked on their designated
task and moved to another group when they were needed.
This organization provided a steady supply of concrete, an
efficient method of reinforcement placement, and an
overall excellent quality control of the finished canoe. The
desired thickness of 3/4 inch at the bottom and ½ inch on
the sides was verified
using measuring tools.
Ultra was cured by sealing the tent in which
the casting occurred and placing humidifiers inside the
sealed tent. The humidity was maintained at a
maximum to guarantee that the concrete would not
lose any water to the warm south Florida environment,
while allowing two weeks for the concrete to properly
cure. Team members visited the area every day of the
first week of curing to mist the concrete and to check
for cracks or imperfections. Once the concrete was fully cured, the mold was released
into three sections and the canoe was removed by the areas that had been freed from the
form. In order to increase the overall
hydrodynamic efficiency, we initiated a
concrete sanding process at this stage
in the construction. The outside of
the canoe was sanded to decrease the
turbulence that a rough outer surface might
cause on the water. Sanding was also
executed on the interior of the canoe for
comfort purposes so that the
paddlers would be kneeling and
working on a smooth, safe concrete
surface. The grit of the sandpaper used ranged from 60-400 and panels were continuously
sanded until the desired smoothness was attained. Finally, our 2015 concrete canoe team

completed a thorough construction process that is evident by the high-quality of Ultra
and its likely future success at the Southeastern Student Conference.
