Rammed Earth Compressive Testing Using Soils From San Luis Obispo, Nicholas J. D'Ambra
Rammed Earth Compressive Testing Using Soils From San Luis Obispo, Nicholas J. D'Ambra
Construction Management
Rammed earth is a sustainable building technique that has been around for thousands of years, and is still being used today. It minimizes environmental impacts by reducing the need for the many resources we use to produce building materials. The purpose of this paper is to test soils in San Luis Obispo to see if they contain the strength characteristics needed to build structural components using rammed earth. After the soils have been collected they will be mixed with a small percentage of cement, and compacted into test cylinders. A compressive test will be conducted after 7 days, and the …
A Survey Of Student Interest In Construction Management Students’ Involvement In Design Village Competition, Candace Nicole Stephens
A Survey Of Student Interest In Construction Management Students’ Involvement In Design Village Competition, Candace Nicole Stephens
Construction Management
Included in this paper are the results of two surveys that were designed to assess student interest in Construction Management students’ participation in the annual Design Village Competition hosted by Cal Poly every spring. Sixty-five Architecture and Architectural Engineering, and thirty Construction Management undergraduate students completed these surveys at the College of Architecture and Environmental Design (CAED), Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. The overall student interest level in both groups was majority positive. To delve deeper into potential benefits and obstacles on this subject, along with quantitative data from the surveys, there is also qualitative data from faculty member interviews, …

Case Study: An Effective Model For Green Roofs In San Diego County, Charles Andrews Iii
Construction Management
Green roofs provide a myriad of environmental and financial benefits to a building and its owner. They can provide a pleasing outdoor aesthetic in an urban environment, as well as provide stormwater management and energy savings in an arid climate. California State University San Marcos completed a new University Student Union in 2014 that included a 2,540 square foot Live Roof system on its upper terrace. Supplier, contractor, and facilities team members were interviewed to analyze the success of the project from several viewpoints. The green roof was found to meet the University’s goals on aesthetic design, energy, and stormwater …
Is Zero Net Energy 2020 Actually Attainable, Perceptions Of Various Professionals Effected, Michael Aldridge
Is Zero Net Energy 2020 Actually Attainable, Perceptions Of Various Professionals Effected, Michael Aldridge
Construction Management
California has created a mandate that will require all new residential buildings to become Zero Net Energy by 2020. Some are already doing it others don’t know what it means, and some don’t think it will be possible. Those that already do it are doing it without any extra cost. All that is required is, on average, a 4KW roof solar panel system. This is something that easy to install and only requires a little more planning during the design phase. There are many other things that a designer and builder can do to successfully reach ZNE including focus on …
