Abstract
The project focused on modeling approaches that can help battle the issues of climate change through reduction of material use in construction. Many research articles have been published on wind engineering of structures through dynamic shakedown with evidence of how these approaches can increase the performance of buildings subject to extreme winds. Many scientific papers have been published to show that these methods have potential to help curb the disasters caused by climate change by understanding wind and structural engineering. The research methods used in this project are mainly quantitative. The experiments are carried out through numerical simulation as it is the only viable way to predict the performance of large scale systems subject to extreme winds. In particular, an archetype building system located in Miami, Fl, was analyzed within the setting of state-of-the-art performance-based wind engineering. Probabilistic performance metrics were estimated and discussed. It is believed that this type of performance assessment can increase the safety of communities subject to wind hazards, such as hurricanes.
