Compression Testing And Failure Modes Of Steel-Concrete Composite (Sc) Structures For Nuclear Containment, Patrick Michael Wanamaker, Amit H. Varma

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium

Although being able to provide much cleaner power than burning coal and other fossil fuels, nuclear power plants are still a tough sell to the general public due to their history of being spontaneously dangerous. The containment structures surrounding these nuclear plants, however, can play a huge role in reducing the risks associated with them. Relatively new designs for these containment assemblies, known as SC (steel-concrete composite) structures, aim to increase the strength and durability of the containment facilities while keeping costs down. By varying the spacing between shear studs, the ratio of concrete to steel, and the ratio of …

Environmental Monitoring In Preparation For The Installation Of A Green Roof, Andrew N. Martin, Ming Qu

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium

Green roofs are becoming an increasingly popular way to improve the environmental, economic, and aesthetic performance of both new and existing buildings. Along with the green roofs themselves, it is also common to install sensors to measure various environmental parameters that are affected by or important to the operation of the roof such as precipitation, temperature, and runoff. However, for most of these systems, the sensors are installed at the same time or even after the green roof. Therefore, no before-and-after comparisons can be made for those roofs. To account for this missing data, monitoring equipment was installed on a …

Between Regional And National Identity: Spectacle And Festival In Modern Japan, Sean H. Mcpherson

2013 New England Association for Asian Studies Conference

Distinctive cultures of display and spectacle mark the regional diversity of Japanese festivals. At the same time, material and ritual links among these traditions speak to broader forces of cultural standardization and commodification. This paper examines the mobile architecture and wood sculpture of festival floats (dashi) in central Japan as discursive and material markers of the connections between local Shintō festivals (matsuri) and broader agendas of nationalism in modern Japan. The Chita peninsula in Aichi prefecture is famous for dashimatsuri, Shintō shrine festivals featuring the procession of huge, wheeled floats called dashi. I argue that the recurrent reinvention …

La Batalla Por Guayaquil, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

Este último 9 de octubre el país fue testigo de la escisión que vive la ciudad de Guayaquil, entre dos fuerzas políticas claramente identificadas: por un lado, Alianza País bajo el liderazgo del Presidente de la República, Rafael Correa y, por otro lado, el Partido Social Cristiano-Madera de Guerrero-Creo representado por el alcalde de Guayaquil, Jaime Nebot. Si bien durante mucho tiempo esta ha sido la tónica de los festejos de octubre, en esta ocasión se puede afirmar que reflejaron, claramente, dos visiones distintas de la ciudad y del país, al extremo que se encuentran confrontadas.

El presidente Rafael Correa …

The Relationship Between Designing And Making, And Creative Design Processes That Could Be Used In Second Level Education., John Walsh

Presentations

This presentation was made at the TechnoTeachers Conference 2013. The Technology Teachers Association represents teachers of subjects including Technology, Materials Technology Wood, Technical Graphics, Design & Communication Graphics and Construction Studies. Despite having limited training in Design, these teachers have become the main providers of Design education at second level. This presentation looked at the importance of design to industry, society and beyond. Design in Ireland in general and in particular, how Design is taught in second level education. It considers in brief some methodologies that may be used in the teaching of design in this context. Ultimately, the aim …

Factors Affecting The Cost Of Building Work - An Overview, Tony Cunningham

Other Resources

The cost of constructing a building project is a primary concern for the vast majority of construction clients. This study outlines the principle factors affecting the cost of building work within the Irish context. The study is addressed to Irish students undertaking undergraduate and conversion masters courses in quantity surveying and construction management related disciplines.

The study identifies that the client’s priorities in relation to quality, cost and time constraints are key factors in forming an effective brief. The appointment of the design team is shown to be a key decision in the process of developing this brief and determining …

An Analysis Of Safety Culture & Safety Training: Comparing The Impact Of Union, Non-Union, And Right To Work Construction Venues, Harry Miller Csp, Tara Hill, Kris Mason, John S. Gaal Edd

Online Journal for Workforce Education and Development

The construction industry is one of the most dangerous sectors of the US economy. As such, the safety attitudes and climate within small (residential) contracting firms may play a role in providing a safe culture and working environment. The intent of this practitioner-based research study is to compare and determine if there is a difference in safety practices—based on documented field inspections and their related original number of violations observed by OSHA—between union residential carpentry contractors in the St. Louis area and:

1) non-union residential carpentry contractors in the St. Louis area;

2) non-union residential carpentry contractors across Missouri; and …

Pre Candidaturas, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

La pre-campaña electoral para elegir autoridades locales y provinciales empieza a cerrarse, debido a la inevitabilidad del calendario propuesto por el CNE: la convocatoria a elecciones se realizará el día 17 de octubre próximo, para lo cual deberían haberse seleccionado las candidaturas dentro de los operadores políticos.

Esta calendarización ha conducido a un movimiento político muy fuerte en un doble sentido: por un lado, a la definición de nuevas reglas de juego que se impulsan desde las elecciones de febrero pasado mediante la aprobación del Código de la Democracia, la aplicación de la Ley D’hont y el diseño de los …

La Violencia Es Estructural, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

“Ya No se puede decir que se trata de hechos casuales, fortuitos, o producidos por infiltrados dentro de las barras. Se trata de un problema estructural del fútbol ecuatoriano, que no se puede asumir con medidas paliativas de tipo reactivo que es lo que se ha hecho hasta ahora.

 El país no tiene una política para enfrentar el problema estructuralmente. Da la impresión de que si se deja pasar mucho tiempo, se consolidará la tendencia de crecimiento de la violencia.

 Algo interesante es que esta violencia casi no se desata dentro de los estadios, porque allí se ha logrado control …

Evaluation Of Phase Change Materials For Cooling In A Super-Insulated Passive House, Jeffrey Stephen Lauck

Dissertations and Theses

Due to factors such as rising energy costs, diminishing resources, and climate change, the demand for high performance buildings is on the rise. As a result, several new building standards have emerged including the Passive House Standard, a rigorous energy-use standard based on a super-insulated and very tightly sealed building envelope. The standard requires that that air infiltration is less than or equal to 0.6 air changes per hour at a 50 Pascal pressure difference, annual heating energy is less than or equal to 15kWh/m2, and total annual source energy is less than or equal to 120 kWh/m2. A common …

Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning Studio and Student Research and Creative Activity

The goal of Planning Studio is to develop a student’s techniques for collecting, analyzing, synthesizing spatial and non-spatial data and presenting that collective data in a manner (i.e., report, video, presentation, charettes) that is understandable to academics, professionals, and the public. Planning Studio allows students to integrate knowledge from coursework and research, and apply such knowledge to resolving representative planning problems. At UMASS Amherst, these problems are found in neighborhood, rural, urban, and/or regional settings. In Fall 2013, the course completed three projects: Master Plans & Land-Use Elements, the Revitalization of the Lower Worthington Street District (Springfield, MA), a Vision …
