RISU.S. Hurricane Wind Speed Risk and Uncertainty
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a summary of updates made to the hurricane simulation model that has formed the basis of the hurricane wind speeds given in ASCE 7 for the period 1998 through 2010. Since the development of the model ...
Hurricane Wind Loss Estimation for Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands: Model Implementation and Validation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The implementation and validation of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Hazus Hurricane Model for Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands are presented in this paper. Previous versions of the model addressed 22 ...
HAZUS-MH Hurricane Model Methodology. II: Damage and Loss Estimation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An overview of the damage and loss models used in the HAZUS-MH Hurricane Model is presented. These models represent the last two of five major component models used in HAZUS for the prediction of damage and loss to buildings ...
Hazus Hurricane Wind Model for the US Caribbean Territories: Hazard Modeling and Development of Residential Damage Functions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The Hazus Hurricane Model has been extended to include the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. The hurricane hazard model uses the same model incorporated into the design wind speeds given in US and Caribbean wind loading ...
