Case Study : Generic, Surveying, And Engineering Factors Investigation

There are 25 major specialties in engineering that are recognized by professional societies. In any one of those 25 specialties, the goal of the engineer is the same. The goal is to be able to come up with a cost effective design that aids people in the tasks they face each day. Whether it be the coffee machine in the morning or the roads and highways we travel, or even the cars we travel in, it was all an idea that started with an engineer. Someone engineered each idea to make it the best solution to a problem. Even though engineer 's goals are similar, there are many different things that engineers do within their selected field of engineering. This paper will focus on the architectural field of engineering.

Robert Chuckrow Construction Company (Chuckrow) was employed as the general contractor to build a Kinney Shoe Store. Chuckrow employed Ralph Gough to perform the carpentry work on the store. The contract with Gough stipulated that he was to provide all labor, materials, tools, equipment, scaffolding, and other items necessary to complete the carpentry work. Gough’s employees erected 38 trusses at the job site. The next day, 32 of the trusses fell off the building. The reason for the trusses having fallen was unexplained, and evidence showed that it was not due to Chuckrow’s fault or a deficiency in the building plans. Chuckrow told Gough that he would pay him to reerect the trusses and continue work. When the job was complete, Chuckrow paid Gough the original contract price but refused to pay him for the additional cost of reerecting the trusses. Gough sued Chuckrow for this expense. Can Gough recover?

The term project for ECIV 405, Fall 2014 Semester, is the Jake Jabs College of Business & Entrepreneurship (JJCBE). JJCBE will be constructed in the northeast side of the campus at Montana State University, Bozeman. The building site is north of Wilson Hall, east of the Chemistry and Biochemistry Building, and about 500 feet north of Montana Hall. JJCBE is expected to attain LEED Gold status at the completion of the project, which is very exciting for Montana State University. The existing project site is relatively flat, existing utilities need to be moved, trees need to be cut down, and pavement needs to be cut before construction can commence.

This proposed document has been one of the focus issues for MBIE for over twelve months.

Overall, Rita and Patrick agreed on many things. I suspect this is due to the similarity of their experiences working in the suburbs and, presumably, they know each other since they are both in the Ed.D program. Both Patrick and Rita agree on the importance of building relationships with the adults in the schools. They also agree that it can be difficult to work with teachers or other staff when they have negative perceptions of students. They also agree that the school psychologist is sometimes treated like an administrator even though they had different words for this (i.e., quasi-secretary paperwork administrators or pseudo-administrator) and discussed how this role confusion can make building relationships with teachers more difficult.

Most homeowners appreciate the important function their roof plays in protecting their home from the elements, but many overlook the key role of a properly functioning gutter system. While the roof protects the interior of the home by quickly shedding rain and snow melt, gutters protect the foundation and exterior of the home by transporting that water a safe distance away. Gutters are so important, in fact, that many municipalities have required that all new residential homes have them.

As we were approaching the problem of how to design a gutter which would carry the most water from the roof with a 12 inch wide piece of material, we came up with a thesis; the length of the roof can be any number according to the roof sections, the maximum volume of the gutter will then depend on the maximum area out of the shapes' side (flank) with respect to the 12in-wide-material piece. Thus the areas of four different shapes were found. By process of elimination, the optimal area for each shape was found by deriving the equations of area as well as basic geometry. The shapes used for this project were a semi-circle, triangle, square, and rectangle. For

Discussions with MBIE continue as we strive to achieve resolution of their controversial Guidance document on Manufactured Building Solutions.

Architects design "special foundations or elevated piers to allow flood waters to flow below the house without damaging it structurally" (Bliss). These are the stilts that some beach-side houses are built on, due to the high sea levels. "There are elevations required for living space and equipment so the building will survive rising and rising and rushing waters during storms" (Rhea).
