Structural Response of Low-Rise New York City Buildings during Storm Sandy

Eschenasy, Dan

Storm Sandy-induced structural damage of New York City buildings is presented. The paper presents findings based on statistical analyses that used the population of over 17,000 ATC safety assessment reports prepared by consulting engineers. The surge affected mostly wood frame, low-rise buildings and the paper focuses on the different response of one- and two-story buildings. Engineering observations and statistical results indicate that the weight of a building is a simple and reliable predictor of the level of structural damage.
