Investigation of Engineered Building Wind Failures

Abstract

In the wake of recent disasters, investigations of building failures have become important to building code officials, building trade associations, the insurance industry, engineers and architects, and the legal profession. The paper outlines four general types of wind damage investigations and discusses their respective roles in reporting on and influencing construction practice. Principles to guide the investigation of wind-damaged engineered buildings are outlined.
