Design Wind Speeds in the Caribbean
This paper summarizes results from a study directed at developing design wind speed maps for use in the Caribbean. The study is described in detail in Vickery and Wadhera (2008b). The design wind speeds were developed using a hurricane simulation model similar to that used in the development of the ASCE 7-10 wind speeds. Maps were produced for return periods of 50, 100, 700 and 1,700 years so that the countries adopting the IBC Codes, or using ASCE 7-10 to develop design loads, would have design maps consistent with the design wind speed map used in the United States.
