RISWind Tunnel Testing and the Sector-by-Sector Approach to Wind Directionality Effects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: We examine the sector-by-sector approach used by some wind tunnel operators to specify extreme wind effects. According to this approach the design of a structural member subjected to wind loads is adequate if the stresses ...

Wind Speeds in ASCE 7 Standard Peak-Gust Map: Assessment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The ASCE 7 peak-gust map divides the United States into two main adjacent wind speed zones that do not reflect correctly the country’s differentiated extreme wind climate. Following a request by the National Institute of ...

Uncertainty in Finite Element Modeling and Failure Analysis: A Metrology-Based Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we first review the impact of the powerful finite element method (FEM) in structural engineering, and then address the shortcomings of FEM as a tool for risk-based decision ...
Hurricane Damage Prediction Model for Residential Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper reports progress in the development of a practical probabilistic model for the estimation of expected annual damage induced by hurricane winds in residential structures. The estimation of the damage is accomplished ...
