A Performance-Based Wind Engineering Framework for Engineered Building Systems Subject to Hurricanes

Over the past decade, significant research efforts have been dedicated to the development of performance-based wind engineering (PBWE). Notwithstanding these efforts, frameworks that integrate the damage assessment of the structural and envelope system are still lacking. In response to this need, th...

A Performance-Based Wind Engineering Framework for Engineered Building Systems Subject to Hurricanes
description Over the past decade, significant research efforts have been dedicated to the development of performance-based wind engineering (PBWE).

This study aims to develop a PBWE framework based on a full description of the hurricane hazard in which the entire evolution of the storm track and time-dependent wind/rain fields is simulated. Hurricane-induced pressures impacting the building envelope are captured through the introduction of a non-stationary/-straight/-Gaussian wind pressure model.
