In 2009 UMass Amherst, under the direction of Chancellor Robert Holub, engaged in a Framework for Excellence initiative and a commitment to elevate the national profile of the institution. The Framework for Excellence called for the recruitment of 250 additional faculty and an increase of 2,500 undergraduate students over the next 10 years. More space and improved, state-of-the-arts facilities was recognized as key in attracting and retaining the highest caliber faculty and students.
The Comprehensive Academic and Classroom Facilities Plan was funded by the MA Division of Capital Asset Management & Maintenance (DCAMM), which hired Burt Hill to initiate an …

Articles
This article is the third in a series looking at thermal upgrades to single-leaf walls of existing houses. The theme for this article was intended to be an analysis of various drylining options for brick and rubble-built walls of older properties. That will follow. The following events forced a change in focus.

An Independent Analysis Of The Thermal Characteristics Of Irish Concrete Hollow Blocks And Hollow Block Wall Upgrades And A Discussion On Hollow Block Design, Joseph Little, Beñat Arregi Goikolea Mr
Articles
Hollow block walls, whether originally built with external render and internal plaster, or more recently with external render and insulated drylining, represent the most common form of wall construction in Leinster over the last 50 years (see image in Figure 8). In terms of vapour movement, air movement and thermal performance it is also one of the least understood forms of construction practiced in Ireland.
This technical paper and two articles by the same author published by Construct Ireland in February and May 2009 (Issues 6 & 7, Vol. 4) form a concerted effort to rectify this knowledge deficit. It …

Application of PV Panels in Large Multi-Story Buildings Feasibility Study Sara Kayal
The awareness of global warming along with an ever increasing demand for a new source of energy has brought a strong interest in harnessing natural resources such as solar energy. This thesis evaluates the viability of applying photovoltaic (PV) panels in high-rise commercial buildings of around 20 stories. Specifically, the thesis is intended to provide a pre-planning tool during the early design stage for architects and designers who are considering the deployment of PV panels in new multi-story construction.
The first three chapters cover a comprehensive literature review …

Breaking The Mould 2 : An Analysis Of Single-Leaf Insulation Upgrades, Joseph Little
Articles
This article is the second in a series looking at thermal upgrades to single-leaf walls of existing houses. It compares a range of ways of upgrading masonry single-leaf walls, particularly the ubiquitous hollow block wall, and the impact of those decisions on moisture content, wind- and airtightness, cost and heating. Future articles will look at various drylining approaches for a range of walls including brick walls of various widths.

Breaking The Mould 1 : A Study Of Condensation In Single-Leaf Concrete Wall Upgrades, Joseph Little
Articles
This article is the first of a series looking at upgrade options and issues associated with single-leaf walls of existing houses. This article will focus on insulated drylined concrete block walls of the ubiquitous housing estate house. This will include the findings of software that dynamically models moisture movement through the wall over several years. The article following this will look at a range of options for replacing existing drylining or installing drylining where it never was before, be that for a solid block wall of a 1950s house or a solid brick wall of an 1850s house.

Crib Dock Permit And Construction Standards In The Upper Great Lakes, Brian J. Hoxie
Crib Dock Permit And Construction Standards In The Upper Great Lakes, Brian J. Hoxie
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
This study explored the permitting, design, and construction of crib docks in the Les Cheneaux and Drummond Island region of Michigan. It employed an exploratory two-phase mixed-methods research design: first to qualitatively explore and define the problem, and then to quantitatively evaluate a convenience sample of crib docks to determine appropriate permit and construction norms that meet functional requirements while addressing ecological and waterway concerns. The variables considered included siting, design, superstructure, and ground anchorage.
The qualitative findings demonstrated that the USACE and MDEQ are the approving agencies for crib docks and oppose new crib dock construction permits, because they …
