I just wanted to let you know that the Purdue Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) and the Civil Engineering Student Advisory Council (CESAC) are hosting a presentation by Professor Irfanoglu titled "Deconstructing the 2010 Haiti Disaster: What Happened, Why the Disaster, and Lessons Learned." Dr. Irfanoglu traveled to Haiti shortly after the January 12th Haitian earthquake as part of a Purdue research team to survey the structural damage. The researchers, funded in part by NSF and by NEES, presented their findings earlier this month to officials from the National Science Foundation's Rapid Response Research program. The presentation will take place on Monday, November 1st from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM in CIVL 1144. All interested students and faculty are invited to attend. Free food and beverages will be provided. For more information, please visit http://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/research/2010/101019PujolHaiti.html. -- Colby Baker President, EERI/PU Purdue Civil Engineering _______________________________________________ ce-undergraduates-list mailing list ce-undergraduates-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/ce-undergraduates-list

[Ewb-list] Meeting Summary
by ssmcmull＠purdue.edu 17 Oct '10

17 Oct '10

Hey everyone, Just a summary of Thursday's meeting: We brainstormed ideas for connecting the tree spring to the village in order to reduce their water deficit. We have some great ideas and began identifying the pros and cons to each of the ideas. We will continue to do so next meeting and narrow it down to one or two main designs, which we will then model in EPAnet. We also worked more on EPA net and are modeling the existing piping system on EPAnet and will continue helping each another out next meeting. If you haven't downloaded EPAnet and done the tutorial, it only takes about 1 min to download and 30min to finish the tutorial. Here's the link to download EPAnet: http://www.epa.gov/nrmrl/wswrd/dw/epanet.html It's the link towards the bottom, "self-extracting..."Once you've downloaded it, go to help, then tutorial. We're also going to be making a list of any questions we may have for our mentor and the engineers in Bolivia. If you haven't been able to make it to the past few meetings, don't worry, we can bring you up to date at the next meeting! Thanks and see you all there, Sara McMullen

05 Oct '10

Hi everyone! Meeting this Thursday in ME 255 at 7PM! If you have strong opinions about that time, including positive ones, please let me know and we'll adjust accordingly. Also, bring laptops if you have them, we'll be doing some more work. I'll be sending out an excel file with points of the water system in Papachacra. We want you to model it using EPANET 2.0 so that we can compare our results. Make sure you all go through the EPANET 2.0 tutorial, it will make it a lot easier. Thanks, Alex
