Введение
Гран-при "Великой северной бетонной гонки" (GNCTR) — это ежегодное мероприятие, которое испытывает изобретательность студентов-инженеров. Соревнование возникло в 1974 году и было основано доктором С. Х. Симмондсом, президентом отделения Альберты Американского института бетона. Первая гонка состоялась в 1975 году с участием представителей Университета Альберты, Университета Калгари, Северного Альбертинского института технологий и Южного Альбертинского института технологий. С момента своего начала GNCTR расширилась и теперь включает в себя университеты и технические училища со всей Канады, а также иногда принимает участников из Соединенных Штатов и Европы.
The Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race (GNCTR) is an annual event that challenges the creativity of engineering students. The competition originated in 1974 and was created by Dr. S. H. Simmonds, president of the Alberta chapter of the American Concrete Institute. The first race was held in 1975 with participants from the University of Alberta, University of Calgary, Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, and Southern Alberta Institute of Technology. Since its beginning, GNCTR has grown to include universities and technical schools from across Canada with occasional entries from the United States and Europe.
Правила
Проект включает в себя проектирование и строительство саней с металлическим каркасом и беговой поверхностью, полностью выполненной из бетона, и их испытание в гонке с крутого заснеженного склона. Сани должны весить менее 158,8 кг, иметь рабочую тормозную систему и быть оснащены каркасом безопасности для защиты пяти пассажиров. Каждая команда-участница должна представить технический отчет, в котором будет описана конструкция, на публичной технической выставке.
The project involves designing and constructing a toboggan with a metal frame and a running surface made completely out of concrete and racing it down a steep snow covered hill. The sled must weigh less than 350 pounds (158.8 kg), have a working braking system, and be fitted with a roll cage to protect its five passengers. Each competing team must complete a technical report summarizing the design, which is presented at a public technical exhibition.
Душа
Традиционно команды выбирают тему для своих саней; они часто надевают соответствующие костюмы и включают элементы дизайна как в техническую экспозицию, так и в эстетику саней. Темы стали важной частью соревнований, определяя значительную часть награды за командный дух и награды за лучший командный стиль. Идеи для тем обычно вдохновляются популярной культурой, ретро-стилистикой или связаны с родным университетом/колледжем команды и его местоположением.
It is traditional for teams to choose a theme for their sled; they often wear appropriate costumes and incorporate elements of the design into their technical exhibit and sled aesthetics. Themes have become a major part of the competition, making up a large part of the spirit award, as well as the best uniforms award. Theme ideas are most often drawn from popular culture, retro references, or are based on the team's home university/college and its location.
Организатор соревнований
В первые годы соревнований команда-победитель принимала у себя следующее соревнование. К середине 1990-х годов эта практика изменилась на систему чередования между учебными заведениями западной и восточной Канады; границей является граница между провинциями Манитоба и Онтарио. Соревнование обычно проходит со среды по воскресенье в конце января или в первые выходные февраля.
In the early years of the competition, the winning team was asked to host the subsequent competition. By the mid 1990s, this practice had changed to an alternating scheme between Western and Eastern Canadian schools; the dividing line is the Manitoba Ontario border. The competition usually runs from Wednesday to Sunday, at the end of January or over the first weekend in February.
