A Study of Building Damage Caused by Wind Forces
The objectives of the study were to (1) By survey, determine the kinds of major damage inflicted on hospital buildings by wind conditions; and (2) Based on the survey, develop a procedure to identify potential wind force damage to property. The study describes the historical performance of various structural systems and identifies previous damage to buildings, electrical systems and sources of injury to building occupants. It also includes a questionnaire which provides a methodology for evaluating the potential performance of hospital facilities in windstorms.
