Near-surface tornado wind field estimation using damage patterns
… of the wind speed estimation from structural damage. As a result, a method of estimating the near-surface wind field of a tornado using tree damage, known as tree-fall analysis, is often used as an independent wind speed estimation method. Tree-fall analysis is exceptionally useful in forested …

CLIMATE RISK AND CMBS LOAN PRICING
… loan-to-value ratios. Among climate risk indicators, only Trepp’s high property damage indicators show significant effects on loan credit spread. The findings also suggest potential manipulation of climate risk scores. Additionally, natural hazard data was utilized to assess the response …

Оценка и снижение экологической опасности отвалов горного производства в Новороссийской промышленной агломерации
… Land zoning based on accumulated environmental damage indicators and the debris-flow technical risk was performed to assess environmental threats. The designed mine dump reclamation includes soil stabilisation by application of geosynthetic cover, hydro-seeding of soil improvers and seeds of …

Use of Response Surface Metamodels in Damage Identification of Dynamic Structures
… need for low order models capable of performing damage identification has become apparent in many structural dynamics applications where structural health monitoring and damage prognosis programs are implemented. These programs require that damage identification routines have low computational …

Experimental Damage Diagnosis of a Model Three-Story Spatial Frame
Structural damage can be induced by a variety of events from short-term abnormal stresses to long-term natural aging. Detection of changes in a structure's ability to withstand subsequent loads can aid decisions on safety, repair, rehabilitation, and demolition. Dynamic property shifts can show …

Response of piled buildings to the construction of deep excavations
… depends mainly on the working load. The actual damage experienced in buildings depends also on the relative stiffness of the building compared to the soil. Cross sections in Amsterdam have been evaluated and it is concluded that the Goh and Mair (2011) method provides a realistic, although …

Integration of Traffic and Structural Health Monitoring Systems Using A Novel Nothing-On-Road (NOR) Bridge-Weigh-In-Motion (BWIM) System
… number of aging bridges that are structurally damaged. Also, evolving traffic and particularly the overloaded traversing traffic can threaten the bridges' integrity and safety further. Bridge weight-in-motion (BWIM) is a system that takes the instrumented bridges as a scale and uses the …

Modeling Behaviour of Damaged Turbine Blades for Engine Health Diagnostics and Prognostics
… gas turbine engines is largely due to careful damage tolerant design a method of structural design based on the assumption that flaws (cracks) exist in any structure and will continue to grow with usage. With proper monitoring, largely in the form of periodic inspections at conservative …
