construction-lectures-fall-2014's Issues

Cranes and Slings

There needs to be a discussion on the various options for rigging cranes, what types of cranes there are, and a review of the concept of a crane chart. This should not overlap too must with the final project.

Bracing lecture needs work

Based on the current version of the bracing lecture, the majority of the students failed to account for the number of braces in the required nails calculations.

Excessive Fragments in Greetings

I fixed the Greetings presentation manually for summer in the Summer branch. However the Fall and Spring version is still experiencing the problem with excessive fragments showing up in the slide show. I could fix it manually using the exact same approach but I am waiting to see if the fix will be in version 4 of IPython nbconvert.

That being said it is imperative that this gets fixed prior to the start of Fall 2015.

Fix Formwork Text Slide

This needs to fix this before the first week of classes. The correct information is in the syllabus.

Thumbnail Zoom Plus no longer working

Switch to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/imagus/

Italics not displaying correctly in Excavation tables

The tables in the excavation lecture do not display italics in the slide show. The italics are correctly displayed in the notebook so there must be an interaction with reveal and italic html.

Types of Form Work

There needs to be a short lecture (even as short as 1 or two slides) discussing the various types of common concrete form work. Also add an explanation about why we are studying the hardest type of form work to build (a. most versatile b. if you can do this than you can do everything else).
