Wind Damage to Masonry Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An examination has been made of the methods of construction of masonry‐walled buildings, and their performance in severe windstorms. Particular emphasis was placed on low‐rise buildings using unreinforced concrete block ...
Strategies for Wind Damage Mitigation—Summary
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wind damage to buildings and structures in the United States costs approximately $4 billion a year, mostly to nonengineered buildings. Civil engineers should help identify structural problems (weak links) in these buildings ...
Wind Damage to Airport: Lessons Learned
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: High winds at a maximum speed of 96 mph (43 m/s) hit the Columbia Regional Airport in Missouri on June 17, 1985, causing heavy damage to parked aircraft, hangars, building glass windows, automobiles, and so on. A post‐disaster ...
Wind Damage to Wood‐Frame Houses: Problems, Solutions, and Research Needs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wood‐frame houses (light‐frame timber construction) suffer widespread losses in high winds. Improvements in construction techniques and practices can greatly reduce wind damage to such buildings. The most serious problem ...
