The objective of the Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Bowling Ball Competition is to demonstrate the effect of fibers in reinforced concrete, gain experience in forming and fabricating a concrete fiber-reinforced element, and encourage creativity in engineering design and analysis. The inaugural FRC Bowling Ball Competition was held in 2002 during the ACI Convention in Detroit, MI, USA, and has challenged student teams regularly at ACI conventions since then. Travel stipends of up to $10,000 USD will be awarded to each of five teams of students from international universities who have not previously participated in an ACI student competition.
