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, …

Far West Water Ski Club Floating Dock Replacement, Jeffery L. Hadley
Construction Management
A project based senior project, the Far West Floating Dock Project included the design, procurement and construction of two 20’x 20’ floating docks for the Lake Nacimiento based nonprofit Far West Water Ski Club. Constructed of polyethylene coated floats, 4x Pressure Treated lumber, hot-dipped galvanized hardware and composite decking, the dock is designed to have a lifespan of at least 35-40 years. This case study provides an overview of the complete project delivery, beginning with the conception and research, transitioning to design and procurement, and finishing with construction and lessons learned. The overall project cost landed at $21,712.00, made possible …
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 …
