In this paper, a framework for characterizing infrastructure damage due to hurricanes is outlined. The combination of high winds, rain and possible storm surge associated with hurricanes presents multiple difficulties...
详细信息
Techniques in post-disaster assessment from remote sensing imagery have been studied by different research communities in the past decade. Such an assessment benefits everybody from government organizations and insura...
详细信息
The nature of hurricanes poses a significant challenge for making the decision on whether to evacuate or shelter in place. Uncertainties in the hurricane forecast, expected wind field, potential flooding, and performa...
详细信息
In the design of tall buildings, wind effects can significantly affect a number of aspects of design, but there is often little consideration of the type of wind climate in which the building is located. Wind climates...

This paper describes how modelers of the Florida Public hurricane Loss Model (FPHLM) account for and implement various roofing characteristics that reflect the historical building practices and code enforcement in Flo...
详细信息
A probabilistic analysis is applied on full scale data and numerical simulations to characterize extreme values of pressure coefficients on low-rise structures. The full scale data analyzed here, provided by the Flori...
