Practicality and Effectiveness of Wind Resistant Retrofit Measures
Eleven homes in Horry County, South Carolina were destructively tested to assess the state of existing buildings and evaluate recommendations for retrofit of existing homes to increase wind resistance. These homes were made available for testing by Horry County after their purchase as part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's post Hurricane Floyd buyout program. Various tests were conducted on the homes, before and after retrofit options were put into place. The tests include roof sheathing nail withdrawal, debris impact, gable end pull-out failure, rafter connection uplift, and roof sheathing panel uplift. This paper details the preliminary results of the testing program.
