Investigation Into The Relationship Between Hurricane Storm Parameters and Damage
“Economic damage, such as damage to property and infra-structure, from hurricane surges depends on two factors 1) the depth of coastal inundation and 2) the area covered by the surge” (Irish et. al 2007). Typically, damage estimates are developed after hurricanes have dissipated. To have the …

Calibration of Interaction Potentials for Molecular Dynamics inspired Simulations of Structures: the Role of Dihedral Interactions.
… against natural hazards such as earthquakes and wind damage. Traditional approaches to resilience modeling, such as the finite element method, have become dominant for numerically modeling damages caused by natural hazards. However, the existence of numerical instabilities and implementation …

Wavelet Analysis of Extreme Wind Loads on Low-Rise Structures
… been conducted with the objective of reducing wind damage to structures. Wind tunnel simulations of wind loads have been the major source of building codes. However, a simple comparison of pressure coefficients measured in wind tunnel simulations with full-scale measurements show that the …

The Causeway: Bridging Disaster Relief, Recovery, and Climate Adaptation in the Anton Ruiz Watershed
… homes for over a year while they rebuilt from wind damage and flood waters that rose over 6 feet. As climate change leads to an even more constrained timeline for response with increasingly frequent and intense storms, the future of Punta Santiago and other coastal communities worldwide will …

Characterization and Lifetime Performance Modeling of Acrylic Foam Tape for Structural Glazing Applications
… durability in shear and tension. A simple linear damage accumulation model was then proposed to examine the accumulation of wind damage if VHB tape is used to attach curtain wall glazing panels to building facades. The purpose of the model was to investigate the magnitude of damage resulting from …

Integration of graphical, physics-based, and machine learning methods for assessment of impact and recovery of the built environment from wind hazards
… building stock, this entails the building damage state sustained and how long it takes to repair and reoccupy that building. In modeling these concepts, probabilistic and physics-based methods have been the traditional approach. With advancements in artificial intelligence and machine …
