Disaster Relief The purpose of the Disaster Relief team is to develop innovative housing and shelter assistance models that generate sustainable interventions for people vulnerable to or affected by natural disasters.
Area of Impact Latin American/Caribbean Region
Scope Core Home Design • Immediate Relief • Disaster Resistance • Affordable
Design Criteria • One-room, permanent core home design with expansion packages. • Use locally available materials and practices • Identify and apply disaster resilient techniques
Project Timeline • Finished Product • Regional Booklet for all countries • Brochure • Research • Existing disaster resistant techniques • Climate, culture and resources of countries • Country Background Research • Country profiles • Memorandum of Understanding Spring 2009 Spring 2008 Fall 2007 Fall 2008 May 2011 • Haiti Roof Design • Affordability Data • Disaster Resistant Techniques • Expansion packages • Research • Cultural considerations for Haiti • Preliminary floor plans
Completed Work Country Profiles and Research
Completed Work Home Layouts and Assumptions
Deliverables Manual for each country will include: • Construction Documents • Affordability/Cost Estimates • Disaster Resilient Techniques • Homeowner’s Pamphlet
Structural Design
Previous Semester The Haiti Block Project • Common Practices • Raw Materials Available • Cultural Boundaries
Current Semester Spring 2009 Assumptions • Size of the core building • Number of openings • Height and thickness of the walls Using the Sphere, IBC, ASCE and ACI Standards
Accomplishments Completed Load Analysis and Placed Load Weights in Database
Accomplishments Determined Roof Configuration Determined Basic Roof Design Decided on Load-Bearing Walls
Determining the Roof Design Possible Roof Design • Gable • Shed • Flat • Hip Possible Roof Material • Tin • Concrete • Final Design Configuration/Material • Shed (5 degree slope) • Concrete
Roof to Wall Design Assumptions • 3/8” rebar • 6” spacing • Pour Roof and Wall as One Piece • Incorporating Wood Beams • Columns at the Beams • Rebar from the Roof to the Footers
Future Work End of Semester Completed Wall and Slab Design Create an AutoCAD Drawing of Structure Incorporate Disaster Resistance Techniques Design Room Additions to Core Home Complete Roof Design
Current Work • Focused on Country of Haiti and Hurricane Resistance • Researched • Hurricane Resistance Techniques • Alternative Materials • Retrofitting
Analyzing Research Categories Good techniques that are cost effective Good techniques but too expensive Inappropriate techniques Followed by a Cost Benefit Analysis
Analyzing Research Hurricane Technique Manuals
Wind Ring Shank Nails Hurricane Straps
Water Building a Drier Overhang Capillary Breaks
Cost Estimation
Semester Goals Retrieve Cost Data for Haitian Materials Compile Affordability Data for Haitian Home
Accomplishments Translated Haitian Cost Data Spreadsheet
Current Work • Producing the outline of the final manual using the template created last semester • Will be written for HFH construction managers to utilize in wake of a natural disaster • Sections will include • Structural AutoCAD drawings • Affordability Data • Structural Disaster Resistant Techniques • Retrofitting on existing houses
Road Blocks • Appropriate Assumptions • Design is a slow and difficult process and • we are learning as we go

Biotown, IN • Reynolds, IN • Energy self sufficient • Increased green awareness • Opportunity to set standard in affordable housing
Bio-Town • Energy efficient affordable green home design • Green training for homeowners and building construction • Home design is to be delivered by May 2009. • Training methods delivered by Fall 2009 (after construction)
Project Timeline • Research • Research Existing Projects • Compile Manual • Finalize Housing Plans • Detailed Drawings • User Manual and Documentation • Material selection Fall 2009 Fall 2008 Spring 2008 Spring 2009 • Construction Planning • Develop Sketches • Construction Meeting • Create Schedule / Budget • Finished Product • Receive Materials • Begin Construction • Educate During Build • Complete Home
Completed Work • LEED research • Most feasible • How to attain points • Products/practices most beneficial • Cost-effective, highest return on the dollar • Revised LEED research • Similar, with more points • Demographic research on Reynolds, Indiana • Conferences • Tacoma, WA – Evergreen Standard • Indianapolis, IN - NGBS
Semester Goals Green rating systems & standards Reallocated resources based on priorities of deliverables
Green Energy Standards • Energy Star • Will be funded for HFH by city of Lafay1ette • LEED • Several LEED AP’s within HFH and Purdue community • NGBS • NAHB • Popular in IN • Simplified version of LEED • HFH is familiar with this system
LEED Research • Review sections among team • Utilized sections as basis for research • Sustainable Sites • Water Efficiency • Energy and Atmosphere • Materials and Resources • Indoor Environmental Quality • Location and Linkages • Innovation and Design
Construction Manual • Used for techniques and products • Aids construction manager in product decisions • Included in brochure • Cost • Payback • Typical vendors • Sources of information (resources) • Installation • Pros/Cons • Myths • Pictures/Diagrams
Construction Manual Layout • Table of Contents • Interior finishes • Orientation and design • Foundations • Wall systems • Roof • Landscaping • Documented & created during/after construction
Homeowners Manual • Objectives: • Properly inform them of appropriate measures that need to be taken with regards to home maintenance • Create a document that is easily understandable • Lists professional contact information
