An international competition open to students of technical universities in Bachelor’s and Master’s degree studies. 2 – 3-member teams participate in the competition. Their task is to design a model of a structure following the assignment instructions, build the model in home, and subsequently load it up to the point of collapse during the finals held at the Faculty of Civil Engineering CTU in Prague. The model must comply with the assigned structural and weight limits, as well as the time set for the load test. The final ranking of the models reflects the effectiveness of the model, i.e. the ratio between the total load capacity of the model and its own weight.

This year’s task will be the production of a model of a conveyor belt support structure. The assignment will be specified in detail in the competition rules. We will publish the rules on 1^st February 2023. The registration will open on the same day.

The competition day finals will take place at the Faculty of Civil Engineering CTU in Prague on 19. 4. 2023. The models will be exposed to a load test there.
