Calculations and Technical Information for Engineers Now on Website
PLEASANT HILL, CA – April 25, 2006 – Pacific Housing Systems™, Inc. announced today the immediate availability of two technical papers for engineers. Helical Anchor Geotechnical Design Considerations (Daniel J. Rhoades, G.E., Principal, Purcell, Rhoades & Associates) and WAFFLEMAT System Design Considerations (John M. Cook, S.E., Principal, MKM & Associates) can both be found here on the company’s website, in the “News” section under “White Papers.”
Jim Winslow, CTO of Pacific Housing Systems said, “Each paper is targeted directly for the engineering community, and will provide a wealth of information in the form of calculations and examples in regards to the technical aspects of designing and installing these products. We anticipate that much of the information required for specifications will be answered, and allow the respective geotechnical and or structure engineer to better understand and correctly position both the design and accompanying cost benefits for their customers.”
Rich Treanor, Director of Planning and Production for PHS, noted, “One of our top requests is for detailed technical information on how the WAFFLEMAT System compares to a P/T Slab, and the calculations necessary for not only comparison, but conversion as well. This guide will provide engineers with that data and examples – as the guide for the Winslow Geo Anchor will do for engineers interested in that product.”
