Hydrogeomorphic classification of ridge-top wetlands in the Daniel Boone National Forest
Encompass, 2020Co-Authors: Engelman, Robert O, Malzone, Jonathan M, Watson KellyAbstract:Ridge-top wetlands occur throughout the Daniel Boone National Forest (DBNF) and provide valuable ecologic services; they are rich in biodiversity, and play a key part in nutrient cycling. Ridge-top wetlands are classified as geographically-isolated wetlands (GIWs), because they are perched on the top of a sandstone ridge, and there is a semi-impermeable clay layer that retains water away from other water bodies. This research focused on identifying the geomorphic characteristics of 34 ridge-top wetland watersheds in the DBNF in order to classify groundwater and surface water patterns that produce ecological services. We identified GIWs with high resolution LiDAR data and used ArcGIS to analyze the size, slope, shape, and distribution of each watershed’s upland and lowland. The slope and coverage of uplands and lowlands are hypothesized to control the relationship between runoff and groundwater recharge, which will control the hydrologic patterns of the wetland. Four wetland types were identified: open valley, long valley, short valley, and Amphitheater wetlands. Open valley and long valley wetlands had broad lowlands that were bounded by steep narrow uplands. These wetlands are likely dominated by runoff in the uplands. Amphitheater wetlands had broad flat uplands and smaller lowlands that would promote more groundwater recharge. Short valley wetlands had properties between Amphitheater and long valley wetlands making them an even balance between the two. More upland runoff means that lowlands will be flooded quickly creating more ephemeral GIWs, while more upland recharge will create slower groundwater discharge to the lowlands that sustains water levels longer

San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden Amphitheater Benches - The Design
DigitalCommons@CalPoly, 2021Co-Authors: Barthmaier DevonAbstract:This paper will outline the process of designing, building, and installing ten concrete benches at the San Luis Obispo Botanical Gardens with an emphasis on the design phase. The San Luis Obispo Botanical Gardens is home to an Amphitheater that is used for event spaces. The goal of the project was to create a design to seat approximately forty people facing the stage. The project group consisted of six students broken into two teams, a pre-construction team and a construction team. The preconstruction team focused on designing the benches and procuring the materials while the construction team focused on the logistics of building the benches off-site and bringing them to the garden. The design phase began by coordinating a schematic design with the employees of the garden and planning a realistic design that would be shown in plan, elevation, and isometric views. This paper will cover the entire process of the project with a primary focus on the stages of design

San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden Amphitheater Bench Project – Concrete Formwork Construction
DigitalCommons@CalPoly, 2021Co-Authors: Cruz, Kyler NAbstract:This paper summarizes the efforts towards constructing formwork for 10 concrete benches. The formwork construction is a part of the San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden Amphitheater seating senior project. The project included the design, construction, and installation of precast concrete benches to create seating for 40 people. The project was completed by Kyler Cruz, Brandon Keefer, Sydnee Greer, Makenna Gitchell, Devin Barthmaier, and Anthony Masarweh. The concrete formwork consisted of plywood, 2x4 lumber for bracing, rebar cages, and foam inserts. The key considerations for this scope of work included: reinforcing rebar, the number of forms built, formwork failure, and the overall weight of the benches. The initial estimate for formwork bracing material was too conservative which resulted in construction taking longer than initially planned, as well as increased spending on materials. The team also struggled to secure the rebar and foam core inside the formwork which created more work during the concrete pour. Despite the challenges that occurred, the formwork was completed in eight days and in time for the scheduled concrete pour. The formwork did not fail during or after the concrete pour and all 10 benches were poured successfully
