A Diving Board Baghdad Offers
Is there anyone in the market for a reinforced concrete diving board? If so, Al Hikma University in Baghdad, Iraq, has one for you.
In a senior course called Engineering Projects at Al Hikma, students are required to design and build a model of some structure of their own conception.
Basil Kattula, Baghdad, Iraq, graduate student in civil engineering and a graduate of Al Hikma, said that two of his classmates designed and built a full scale model of the diving board.
"THE COURSE was the idea of Professor R. S. Bekovich. We were supposed to make only a scale model of our projects, but Professor Bekovich told them to build a full-sized one. Kattula said.
"This had never been done in Baghdad," Kattula said, "and it was not known if it would work." Nevertheless, the two students, Mowaffa Simani and Ali Al-Qaragouli set out to do it under the supervision of Prof. Bekovik.
The diving board is 20 feet long and weighs over two tons. The base of the diving board is studded with 23 rods of reinforced steel set in concrete and tapers to "business" end where only four rods were needed.
Al Hikma University is staffed by American professors and sponsored by American Jesuit Priests.
