Building 43: Recreation Center - Cal Poly San Luis Obispo

The purpose of this project is to analyze the Fire Protection systems of the Recreation Center on campus at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Only the building itself is analyzed in this project. This report provides both a prescriptive-based and performance-based analysis of the building. The prescriptive-based analysis includes an overview of the structural components and their fire resistance, the sprinkler system, the fire alarm system, as well as an egress analysis. The performance-based analysis consists of three different potential fire scenarios, with the first being modeled with both Pathfinder and Pyrosim. Resources used are the building’s floor plans, available pages from the building’s blueprints, the building’s sprinkler plans, the building’s fire alarm plans, the 2015 edition of the International Building Code, 2015 Life Safety Code, the 5th Edition of the SFPE Handbook, the 20th Edition of the Fire Protection Handbook, and NFPA 13, NFPA 25, and NFPA 72. After completing both the prescriptive-based and performance-based analyses, positive conclusions can be made about the recreation center. The Recreation Center has sufficient exit capacity considering the calculated occupant load of the building. And the construction, fire alarm system, and sprinkler system all meet the requirements from their respective codes. Lastly, the performance-based analysis yielded a Required Safe Egress Time (RSET) of 155 seconds, and an Available Safe Egress Time (ASET) of 450 seconds. These results show that the Recreation Center performs adequately when simulated with a fire scenario. While the building’s systems all meet code requirements, and the building performed adequately in a simulation, the University needs to ensure that the main gymnasium is never occupied over its maximum capacity during special events held there. Overfilling the space can lead to crowding, which could potentially cause life-threatening delays in evacuation. The University must implement fire safety management during special events held in the gymnasium to ensure safety of all occupants

Application of Probabilistic Ranking Systems on Women’s Junior Division Beach Volleyball

Women’s beach volleyball is one of the fastest growing collegiate sports today. The increase in popularity has come with an increase in valuable scholarship opportunities across the country. With thousands of athletes to sort through, college scouts depend on websites that aggregate tournament results and rank players nationally. This project partnered with the company Volleyball Life, who is the current market leader in the ranking space of junior beach volleyball players. Utilizing the tournament information provided by Volleyball Life, this study explored replacements to the current ranking systems, which are designed to aggregate player points from recent tournament placements. Three probabilistic/modern ranking techniques were tested, specifically an Elo variant, TrueSkill, and a random walker graph network. This study found that Elo could predict match outcomes with a 13% higher accuracy than the preexisting systems and TrueSkill with an 11% higher accuracy

The Effect Of Selected Fitness Components, Attitudes And Personality Variables On Selection Of Physical Education Activities

This study attempted to determine relationships among selected physical fitness components, attitudes toward physical education as an activity course, personality characteristics, and the voluntary selection of required physical activity classes at Appalachian State University. More specifically the study was designed to unveil relationships of physical fitness components of cardiovascular fitness, muscular endurance, and percent body fat; attitudes toward physical education as an activity course; and personality traits among and between various groupings in the selection of archery and marksmanship; volleyball, basketball, and softball; racquetball and handball; beginning swimming, intermediate swimming, and advanced swimming; tennis and badminton; and weight training and physical fitness activity courses
