Performance-Based Hurricane Risk Assessment of Residential Structures with Consideration of Multiple Hazard Sources
Hurricanes are among the most costly natural hazards affecting communities worldwide. The landfall of a hurricane involves different hazard sources (i.e., wind, windborne debris, flood, and rain) that interact to generate the hazard scenario for a given structure. Thus, hurricanes can be viewed and must be analyzed as multi-hazard scenarios. In this study, a probabilistic Performance-Based Hurricane Engineering (PBHE) framework is used for the risk assessment of a residential structure subjected to hurricane hazard. A case study of a hypothetical residential house subjected to the combined hazards of wind, windborne debris, flood, and rainfall is considered to illustrate the sequential procedure for the probabilistic risk assessment. The results obtained from the application example include the annual probability of exceedance of total loss for the target residential building due to each hazard and their combined effect, and highlight the importance of considering the interaction between different hazard sources.
