Habitat for Humanity - ASCE Centennial House

This year the Dallas Branch is sponsoring the build of the ASCE Centennial in west Dallas. The floor plan was based on the ‘Rice Centennial House’ designed by Courtney Benzon and Yonatan Pressman. Modifications were made to the original design so that the structure would be site specific. The presentation will cover the geotechnical analysis of the site and structural analysis of the inverted truss. In addition, the home will be setup for future solar panel arrays.

Colin Blankenship, P.E. and Jack Furlong, P.E. will be presenting the geotechnical and structural segment. Phil Fisher will present the solar panel segment. Mr. Fisher is owner of Fisher Renewables.
