Integration of graphical, physics-based, and machine learning methods for assessment of impact and recovery of the built environment from wind hazards
The interaction between a natural hazard and a community has the potential to result in a natural disaster with substantial socio-economic losses. In order to minimize disaster impacts, researchers have been improving building codes and exploring further concepts of community resilience. Community …

Risk-Based Wind Loss and Mitigation for Residential Wood Framed Construction
As a result of increasing windstorm losses in the United States over the past 50 years, a variety of residential wind hazard mitigation methods have been suggested. Mitigation undoubtedly reduces windstorm losses; however, the expected economic risk reduction of mitigation practices over the life …
