20th April 2018 – FKA team rewarded the most flowable concrete (300 USD) and best presentation award (200 USD) in International Highest Early Strength Self-Consolidating Concrete Cube Competition (i-HESSCCC) 2018 which was held at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Shah Alam, Malaysia from 19th to 20th April 2018. i-HESSCCC 2018 is a 2 days event organized by Institute for Infrastructure Engineering and Sustainable Management (IIESM) of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) in collaboration with American Concrete Institute Malaysia Chapter (ACI-Malaysia Chapter) and Concrete Society of Malaysia (CSM).
This International Highest Early Strength Self-Consolidating Concrete Cube Competition (i-HESSCCC) is an annual event and was first held since a decade ago aimed to encourage innovative ideas in addition to foster technical skills of the participants. This competition involves researchers, students and the industry in producing highest strength self-consolidating concrete in 24 hours after mixing with minimum cost. This year, this competition was extending to international level to encourage participants from other countries, especially Asian countries to participate. This event was organized to make opportunities for civil engineering students to gain hands on, practical experience and leadership skills.
