  3. Area of Impact Latin American/Caribbean Region

  4. Devastation of Haiti

  5. Scope • Design an affordable disaster resistant home • Withstand natural disasters • Immediate Relief • Design additions to be attached to the home at a later time

  6. Previous Semesters Core Home Additions

  7. Current Semester • Design an affordable disaster resistant home • Withstand natural disasters • Immediate Relief • Design additions to be attached to the home at a later time

  8. Current Specific Parameters Provide multiple design options • Roofing • Window/Door • Wall Configurations Research techniques/retrofitting • Easily implemented • Cost benefit

  9. Expected Deliverables • AutoCAD Drawings (Elevations, Additions, Floor Plan….etc) • Complete Structural Analysis for complete home • Cost/Benefit Analysis • Complete Booklet Manual for Haiti

  10. Project Timeline • Complete Haiti Booklet • AutoCAD Drawings • Disaster Resistant Techniques • Complete Structural Analysis • Research • Existing disaster resistant techniques • Climate, culture and resources of countries • Country Background Research • Country profiles • Memorandum of Understanding Spring 2008 Spring2009 Spring 2011 Fall2007 Fall 2008 Fall 2009 • Haiti Core Design • Affordability Data • Disaster Resistant Techniques • Roof & Wall Design • Research • Cultural considerations for Haiti • Preliminary floor plans • Finished Product • Regional Booklet for all countries • Brochure

  11. Semester Goals • Compare and Analysis Both Core Designs • Design and Draw the Additions to the Core • Decisions on materials and perform Structural Analysis • Disaster techniques to implement • Cost Analysis of the entire home • Complete Booklet Manual for Haiti

  12. DisasterResistant Technique • Hurricane Strap • Tie with truss to supports/shapes the roof to the framework of the home • Prevent uplift to the roof

  13. DisasterResistant Technique • Capillary Break using Elastomeric Coating • Elastomeric Coating is sprayed on the area where slab and concrete wall ⇒ seal small crack ⇒ Rainwater would be halted • Have to consider a spray is necessary to apply the material (Look for code in Haiti)

  14. DisasterResistant Technique Roof Structure • Moderately pitched hip roof • Minimize leak and wind load and ensure water shed away from wind • Roof Truss • Provide strength of the roof ⇒ Need to consider: Can be installed onto the add on rooms?

  15. DisasterResistant Technique • Mortar Joint Resistant to water (Mortar Toughs) • Ability for moisture to penetrate into the house • 2 kinds of joint • Concave • V shape

  16. DisasterResistant Technique • Well Reinforced Masonry Wall • Provide general stability to the load path of the home (top to bottom) • Reinforcement at the top ensures that any connections made to if from the room have no chance for collapse

  17. Semester Plan • Decisions on materials and perform structure analysis • Cost analysis of the entire home • Continue Researching on Disaster Resistant Technique • Complete Booklet Manual for Haiti
