RISDo Perverse Insurance Incentives Encourage Coastal Vulnerability?
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Subsidized insurance is often described as a perverse incentive, moral hazard, or maladaptation that perpetuates coastal residencies in vulnerable homes despite increasing safety and economic risks from hurricanes, sea ...
Computer Vision-Enabled Roof Subassembly Damage Detection from Hurricanes Using Aerial Reconnaissance Imagery
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Coastal communities are increasingly vulnerable to devastating losses caused by extreme climatological events such as hurricanes. As risk escalates, an urgent need arises to accelerate learning from these disasters. ...
Along-Wind Load Effects on Tall Buildings: Comparative Study of Major International Codes and Standards
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Most international codes and standards provide guidelines and procedures for assessing the along-wind effects on tall structures. Despite their common use of the “gust loading factor” (GLF) approach, sizeable scatter exists ...
Aerodynamic Loads on Tall Buildings: Interactive Database
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Under the action of wind, tall buildings oscillate simultaneously in the alongwind, acrosswind, and torsional directions. While the alongwind loads have been successfully treated using quasi-steady and strip theories in ...
Cost of Safety: Holistic Analysis of Market-Based Solutions for Housing in Haiti
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Access to affordable and safe housing represents a critical challenge for many low- and middle-income countries. Technical and economic constraints frequently lead aspiring homeowners in these countries toward informally ...
e-Analysis of High-Rise Buildings Subjected to Wind Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The NatHaz Aerodynamic Loads Database (NALD) (http://aerodata.ce.nd.edu) introduced in 2000 has served an important first step in establishing an on-line experimental archive of high-frequency base balance (HFBB) data for ...
