Performance Evaluation of Light Frame Structures in Earthquakes and Hurricanes
This paper presents an evaluation of conventional residential construction with respect to the actual performance of single-family detached dwellings subjected to extreme earthquakes and hurricanes. Design and construction implications are also addressed in a scientifically rigorous approach based on statistical sampling of the affected housing populations, engineering analysis, and fragility modeling. Such an approach is believed to be an effective means to identify real performance issues, evaluate the strength of cause-and-effect relationships, and properly focus attention on cost-effective solutions to performance problems that will improve future design methods and construction practices.
