Testing Procedure Update

Done as of January 24, 2012:

Preliminary Testing- Exploratory

1. The group has met, and the chosen solutions work within the group and fit together as planned.

2. Met with mentor and got design approved, it is structurally sound and all minor flaws have been revised.

3. Met with teachers on the feasibility of the pier. Few details within framework left to be ironed out before moving onto secondary testing.

Next to do as of January 24, 2012:

Secondary Testing- Assessment

1. Bring all final solutions back together to determine feasibility.

2. Decide whether or not all the solutions are the best way to achieve the final product.

3. Is the final solution usable and useful to visiting tourists and fishermen?

The Green Pier Project

Introduction

Water pollution is currently a very important imposing issue in today’s world. Many water-based structures like marinas, piers, and docks contribute to this issue through runoff and manufacturing. The intention of the Green Pier Project is to plan and design a pier, promenade, and chapel solely out of eco-friendly materials. The Green Pier should help in the prevention of water pollution and beach erosion. As the civil engineering portion, this portion of the project deals with the waterline and extends outward. This consists of two extending piers and a bulkhead. Figure 1 shows the layout of the piers, with one 50-foot pier and one 200-foot pier each extending from the opposite ends of a promenade. The railing will extend up the sides of the ramps, despite the fact that the railing is not shown extending up the ramps in the image below.
