INTRODUCTION Dorton Arena was completed in 1952 and is the first structure to be primarily supported by cables. This feat of civil engineering was visualized by Matthew Nowicki. The entire structure is unique and efficient, and an important component of Dorton Arena is the stability of the roof. The objective of this paper is to address the engineering components of Dorton Arena’s roof that bring the structure to equilibrium. The rest of this paper will focus on the roof’s design, use of tension…

Prior "Iron Triangle" was utilized as Time, Cost and Output(scope), however it was dropped from the PMBOK® Guide fourth version onwards. The essential Scope, Time, and Cost increased Quality, at that point Risk, and later Resources. It never again fits perfectly into a triangle. Is the Iron Triangle still pertinent? Individuals will dependably attempt to adorn it however the crucial issue of adjusting what you need, when you need it and the amount you are set up to pay for it generally remains…

Summary - pg. 3-4 Conclusions pg. 4 References pg. 5 Diversity in Engineering on Global Projects I. Abstract Diversity in engineering on global projects has been an ever-improving topic in engineering. With less diversity in the engineering and construction field there will be fewer advancements in both practice and in technology. II. Introduction The lack of diversity in the engineering workforce on global projects is an ongoing problem, with only little signs of improvement. Efforts to…

Metal roofing is one of the most sought after materials for new roofs. There are a number of benefits that make metal roofing appealing to both homeowners and roofing contractors alike. When comparing metal roofing to shingle roofing you will find that the cost is almost double however the longevity of the roofing material more than doubles. We will look deeper into metal roofing advantages and disadvantages throughout this articles. As stated above metal shingling is known for its durability…

Project manager’s failure to plan and manage the plan, a project can fail before it even begins, if the project manager is not prepared for the job; if he does not get the support of the stakeholders; if he does not pick the correct people for his team or his team members does not have what it takes to work as a team Once he does have all the support and the right team, the rest is for him to be able to manage the project in order for him not to fail. He must know what the start and end time of…

Principles of construction are passed down and improved upon as construction technologies advance. For example, mud and straw were considered suitable materials for building shelter, but now they are not. Frederick P. Brooks Jr lays out timeless principles of software engineering in The Mythical Man-Month. Brooks writes about common problems faced by software engineers and how the principles are applied. While elaborating on common problems encountered Brooks goes into specific details about…

If there is anything to write on the subject of Architecture 101, I could not help but wonder is there anything more primordial, more primeval, intuitive or simply more basic than to write about Space and Form? Architecture students (or for that, matter professionals), generally marvel at Form simply because of its direct visual and tactile nature experienced through their (and our own) baser sensory perception. But Space is not as tangible; and this is where both fumble. It is only natural;…

They relate several ideas, developed in the sixties in construction, engineering, planning, robotics and aerospace, which implied control and shape modification through mechanical.2 Indeterminacy is understood here in relation to the uncertainty of change, of future unknown situations For Zuk and Clark, architects…

Construction of the Concrete Roof of the Assembly Hall The University of Illinois- Urbana Champaign Assembly Hall has been the home of the Illini men’s basketball team for over half a century and has been one of the greatest engineering and architectural feats on campus ever since its creation over half a century ago. Beginning on May 25, 1959, construction of the Assembly Hall was carried out by structural engineers Othmar Ammann and Charles Whitney, general contractor Felmley-Dickerson Co.,…
