C2.01 - Affordable Housing Project

Our team will be exploring different foundation design options to enhance the structural integrity of our affordable housing development. In the previous term, we researched a suitable plot of land and various housing alternatives for feasibility, effectiveness, sustainability, and affordability while abiding by all relevant design codes and regulations. This semester, we will focus on foundation design and modeling. This project is part of a larger interdisciplinary effort in collaboration with the electrical engineering team for our sponsors Stable Options LLC and SATOP. To aid their efforts, we are creating a foundation model simulation to test their solutions. There will be an emphasis on ensuring testing repeatability, feasibility, usability and quantitative data capture.
