RISHurricane Risk of Solar Generation in the United States
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Projections indicate that solar energy will constitute 55% of total electricity capacity by 2050 in the US. Despite solar energy’s growing importance, few studies have analyzed the risks of countrywide deployments of solar ...
An Investigation of Climate Change Effects on Design Wind Speeds along the US East and Gulf Coasts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Tropical cyclone (TC) winds control design wind speeds for much of the eastern United States. Those winds are likely to intensify with climate change, but climate change was not considered in the ASCE 7-22 design wind speed ...
Analyzing Relationships between Tropical Cyclone Intensity and Rain Rate over the Ocean Using Numerical Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, the relationship between tropical cyclone (TC) intensity and rain rate over the ocean is investigated using a full-physics numerical model (WRF) and a physics-based TC rainfall model (TCR). TC intensity is ...
Estimation of Hurricane Wind Speed Probabilities: Application to New York City and Other Coastal Locations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A procedure is presented for estimating parametric probabilistic models of hurricane wind speeds from existing information on state-of-the-art estimates of wind speeds with various mean recurrence intervals (MRIs). Such ...
Hurricane Damage and Loss Estimation Using an Integrated Vulnerability Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An integrated vulnerability model is presented to estimate structural damage and related economic losses in clusters of residential buildings resulting from hurricane winds. The model accounts for the occurrence of a ...
North Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Outer Size and Structure Remain Unchanged by the Late Twenty-First Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There is a lack of consensus on whether North Atlantic tropical cyclone (TC) outer size and structure (i.e., change in outer winds with increasing radius from the TC) will differ by the late twenty-first century. Hence, ...
Trajectories of Wind-Borne Debris in Horizontal Winds and Applications to Impact Testing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper considers the trajectories of compact and rod-type wind-borne debris in horizontal winds, using a combination of experimental and numerical studies. These types are representative of the roof gravel and timber ...
Design Tropical Cyclone Wind Speed when Considering Climate Change
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper investigated the evolution of tropical cyclone (TC) wind threat from the past into the future and discussed its implications for the building code specifications for two vulnerable coastal cities (Hangzhou and ...

Component-Based Vulnerability Analysis for Residential Structures Subjected to Storm Surge Impact from Hurricane Sandy
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, manual and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) surveys of physical damage to structures in Ortley Beach, New Jersey, following Hurricane Sandy are used to assess the vulnerability of residential structures ...
