  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. Expected Deliverables • Complete Booklet Manual for Haiti home • AutoCAD Drawings (eg. Elevations, Additions, Floor Plan) • Cost/Benefit Analysis • Construction procedure

  7. Project Timeline • Complete Haiti Booklet • AutoCAD Drawings • Disaster Resistant Techniques • Complete Booklet Manual • 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

  8. Core Home Additions Previous Semesters

  9. Semester Goals • Design and draw the additions to the Core • Disaster techniques to implement • Decisions on materials • Perform Structural Analysis • Cost Analysis of the entire home • Complete Booklet Manual for Haiti

  10. Current Specific Parameters Provide multiple design options for the additions • Roofing • Window/Door (Openings) • Wall Configurations Research techniques/retrofitting for both Core and additions • Practically implemented • Cost beneficial

  11. Core Design Add-on Layouts Add-on Elevations Looking Ahead Structural Progress

  12. Core Design Add-on Layouts Add-on Elevations Looking Ahead Structural Progress

  13. Core Design • Core model previously designed in Catia. • Created floor plan and profiles of Core home in AutoCad. • Halted progress on our Core model to focus on add-on rooms. • Copied existing Core home plans into AutoCad.

  14. Our Core Design

  15. Existing Core Home Design

  16. Comparisons • Similarities • About 3 x 5 meters • Shed roof • Composed of concrete blocks • Accommodate add-on rooms • Use sheet metal for roof • Designed to provide immediate relief to Haitians families Differences Our Core Home -Composite concrete/metal roof -Has doors built on sides for add-ons -No front porch -Roof slants from back to front -Disaster Resistance Existing Core Home -Roof comprised of wood truss and sheet metal -Window space can be converted into doors -Designed with porch in front of home -Roof slants from side to side -Immediate shelter

  17. Core Design Add-on Layouts Add-on Elevations Looking Ahead Structural Progress

  18. Add-on Layouts • Six add-on layout options created. • List narrowed down to three different layouts. • Plans of the existing Core home with the add-ons created in AutoCad.

  19. Add-on Layouts Core room Bedroom Patio

  20. Factors for Layout Choices • Simple designs • Symmetry • Patios well-received in Haiti • Personal preference

  21. Core Design Add-on Layouts Add-on Elevations Looking Ahead Structural Progress

  22. Add-on Elevations

  23. Core Design Add-on Layouts Add-on Elevations Looking Ahead Structural Progress

  24. Concerns • Roof Slope • Core to add-on connectivity • Structural Analysis

  25. Looking Ahead • Roof Connection • Roof Materials • Steel Rebar Placement • Nail Placement • Disaster Resistant Techniques to Implement

  26. Disaster Resistant Technique

  27. Research Focused On…. • Preventing water from leaking inside the house • Withstanding high wind gusts

  28. CapillaryBreak using Elastomeric Coating • Coating prevents water seepage • Have to consider that a spray is necessary to apply the material (Look for code in Haiti)

  29. Mortar Joint Formation • Reduces ability for moisture to penetrate into the house and mortar erosion • 2 kinds of joint • Concave/Russ • V shape

  30. Focuses • Prevent water leaking inside the house • Withstand the high wind blow

  31. Well Reinforced Masonry Wall • Provide general stability to the load path of the home (top to bottom) • Extra reinforcement along the upper part of the wall. ⇒Considerations: • Quantities • Spacing of reinforcement bars

  32. Roof Structures • Moderately pitched hip roof • Minimize leak and wind load and ensure water shed away from wind • Roof Truss • Provide strength for the roof ⇒ Need to consider: Can it be installed onto the add-on rooms?

  33. Pitched Hip Roof

  34. Roof Truss Roof Truss

  35. Hurricane Strap • Ties with truss to support the shape of the roof to the framework of the home • Prevents uplift ofthe roof ⇒ Need to consider: Can it be applied to the concrete home?

  36. Semester Goals • Design and draw the Additions to the Core • Disaster techniques to implement • Decisions on materials • Perform Structural Analysis • Cost Analysis of the entire home • Complete Booklet Manual for Haiti
