  • How to Construct a Concrete Canoe Construction Report 2011
    How to construct a concrete canoe Construction Report 2011 Enschede, May 2011 BetonBrouwers Study Association ConcepT School of Civil Engineering - University of Twente Preface Preceding on what is coming we want to outline the amount of work that has been shifted by the BetonBrouwers1 and everyone that bears a warm heart towards BetonBrouwen. The concrete canoe challenges in Eindhoven (NL) and Magdeburg (DU) are approaching rapidly, meaning that a year of hard work has passed. And how.... Based on our experiences from seasons 2007 & 2008 a new design and a lightweight concrete mixture were developed for season 2009. With an in theory very competitive concrete canoe, we participated in the Dutch and German competition. Luckily it turned out that it was not only a very competitive canoe in theory but also on the water. Season 2009 became the biggest success in the history of the BetonBrouwers. By dominating the Dutch competition and by winning the men’s race in Germany the BetonBrouwers became ‘European Champion’! In 2010 we dominated the Dutch competition again with the same successful design, but with a new concrete mixture. Since the German competition only takes place once in two years, it’s this year that we can defend our title of the men’s race. Because our neighbours will be very keen on getting the challenge cup back to Germany, it meant that we had to develop even better canoes. As in fact this year’s goal was to improve the design. Already in an early stage we found not much could be improved, but only optimised.

  • Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas
    5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript

  • The Vanderbilt Concrete Canoe Design Project: the Little Engine That Canoed
    The Vanderbilt Concrete Canoe Design Project: The Little Engine that Canoed Stephen Schmitt School of Engineering of Vanderbilt University The Vanderbilt’s Concrete Canoe (VCC) Team has a competitive history at the Southeastern Regional ASCE Conference, placing in the top five schools throughout the past three years. The most recent concrete canoe project was named The Little Engine That Canoed in 2006 to honor Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt’s origins in the railroad industry and as a reminder of the power of persistence. Developing The Little Engine was a small portion of the overall project objectives. The design team first compiled a significant body of literature that systematically outlined the steps for a successful concrete canoe project. The Little Engine boasts a fresh hull, three-dimensional finite element analysis, and an optimized concrete composite. The canoe construction efforts yielded a female mold, canoe carrier, and stands. Team members found the process of modeling the V-shaped bow and stern sections and a rounded stern stem to be the most challenging obstacles. Three-dimensional analysis was performed for the first time in school history and provided insight into graduate level coursework. Similarly, designing a concrete composite to withstand the rigors of competition required the use of a polymer to replace water in the concrete mix. To reach new heights, the team utilized a functional break- down structure. Teamwork and communication, in the face of limited manpower, resulted in performing over 800 man-hours of concrete canoe related activities during a two-year period. The 2006 Vanderbilt Concrete Canoe Hull Development (HD) Team envisioned The Little Engine that Canoed as the product of methodical research and design and creativity.

  • The Role of Student Chapters in Improving Ce Programs
    Session 3215 THE ROLE OF STUDENT CHAPTERS IN IMPROVING CE PROGRAMS Allen C. Estes, Eric M. Lachance, and Mark D. Evans United States Military Academy, West Point, NY Introduction ASCE Student Chapters and Clubs add tremendous value to civil engineering (CE) programs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The value added can and should be tied back to program objectives and outcomes as part of a regular, formal program assessment process. This paper will describe the activities of the student chapter at the United States Military Academy (USMA), describe the USMA civil engineering program outcomes, and show how many of the chapter activities support these program outcomes and add value to the Civil Engineering program. The USMA Student Chapter Student chapter leaders and members are faced with many unique challenges that affect chapter activities. USMA students have an unusually high level of mandatory requirements outside the classroom that restrict the time available for extracurricular activities. These requirements, which include physical training classes, mandatory meal attendance, military drill and ceremony, and compulsory intramural sports participation, limit the student chapter’s ability to plan long- duration events. Therefore, student leaders focus their efforts on short duration activities, trying to get the biggest benefit for the most valuable student resource: time. With limited and tightly controlled increments of available time, we attempt to tailor our activities to accommodate this constraint. Those USMA chapter activities that add the greatest value to our CE program, are listed below, and described in the sections that follow: • Community service and outreach through adopt-a-highway clean up, Habitat for Humanity participation, and support of those community service independent study projects in the CE program 6.

  • Genre in Practice: Categories, Metadata and Music-Making in Psytrance Culture
    Genre in Practice: Categories, Metadata and Music-Making in Psytrance Culture Feature Article Christopher Charles University of Bristol (UK) Abstract Digital technology has changed the way in which genre terms are used in today’s musical cultures. Web 2.0 services have given musicians greater control over how their music is categorised than in previous eras, and the tagging systems they contain have created a non-hierarchical environment in which musical genres, descriptive terms, and a wide range of other metadata can be deployed in combination, allowing musicians to describe their musical output with greater subtlety than before. This article looks at these changes in the context of psyculture, an international EDM culture characterised by a wide vocabulary of stylistic terms, highlighting the significance of these changes for modern-day music careers. Profiles are given of two artists, and their use of genre on social media platforms is outlined. The article focuses on two genres which have thus far been peripheral to the literature on psyculture, forest psytrance and psydub. It also touches on related genres and some novel concepts employed by participants (”morning forest” and ”tundra”). Keywords: psyculture; genre; internet; forest psytrance; psydub Christopher Charles is a musician and researcher from Bristol, UK. His recent PhD thesis (2019) looked at the careers of psychedelic musicians in Bristol with chapters on event promotion, digital music distribution, and online learning. He produces and performs psydub music under the name Geoglyph, and forest psytrance under the name Espertine. Email: <[email protected]>.
