WELCOME TO JOHN BOYLE'S SENIOR THESIS
e-PORTFOLIO

Throughout the Fall 2010 and Spring 2011, I will be analyzing the Virginia Advanced Shipbuilding and Carrier Integration Center in Newport News, VA.. My analyzation will focus on the structural aspects of the building with lesser analysis in the aspects of lighting/electricity, construction management, and HVAC.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web‐based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year-long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering.

Note: While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work‐inprogress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of John Boyle. Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements, and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design.
