RISComponent and Cladding Wind Loads for Soffits
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The wind induced failure of soffits of low rise structures is a failure mechanism commonly observed in post hurricane damage investigations. The failure of the soffits has the potential to allow both wind and water to enter ...
Wind-Induced Response of Tension Leg Platform: Theory and Experiment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effects of wind and wave loads on the response of tension leg platforms have been studied extensively over the past decade; however, this study represents the first attempt to compare the response predictions to a model ...
Elimination of Exposure D along Hurricane Coastline in ASCE 7
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The definition of Exposure D in ASCE 7 along the hurricane coastline does not take into account the increase in the roughness of the ocean with increasing wind speeds, the age of waves, or the changes in the wave characteristics ...
Closure to “Prediction of Hurricane Wind Speeds in the United States” by Peter J. Vickery and Lawrence A. Twisdale
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Hurricane Gust Factors Revisited
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes a re-examination of gust factors associated with hurricanes. The hurricane gust factors for the over-land and over-water cases are examined separately, with the observed gust factors compared to those ...
Prediction of Hurricane Wind Speeds in the United States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Prediction of hurricane wind speeds using a simulation approach is the most universally accepted methodology for estimating design wind speeds in hurricane-prone regions of the world. An updated hurricane simulation ...
Wind-Field and Filling Models for Hurricane Wind-Speed Predictions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two key modeling components in the hurricane simulation process are the wind-field model, and the filling model, which describes the rate of decay of the hurricane after landfall is made. In the investigation described ...
Development of Topographic Wind Speedups and Hurricane Hazard Maps for Puerto Rico
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Topographic effects are known to accelerate wind speeds in hilly or mountainous terrains and consequently increase wind-induced damage. Here we describe a heuristic model developed to estimate wind-induced speedups in ...
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 ...
HAZUS-MH Hurricane Model Methodology. I: Hurricane Hazard, Terrain, and Wind Load Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An overview of the hurricane hazard model, terrain model, wind pressure, and windborne debris models used in the HAZUS-MH hurricane model is presented. These models represent the first three of five major component models ...
