AbstractHurricanes present a serious financial threat to the Gulf Coast and eastern seaboard of the United States. This paper is the first in a set of companion papers that detail a comprehensive mechanistic loss model for wind and rainwater intrusion damage to light-frame wood buildings. In this paper the structural and hazard modeling for a passing hurricane is explained and demonstrated. The structural model consists of a nonlinear nail model integrated into a finite-element model, and a hazard model is developed using a combination of existing wind tunnel data and a rainwater intrusion model. A methodology to compute the rainwater entry volume is presented. The approach differs from previous methods in that it allows any time period to be examined by dividing the hurricane passage period into smaller increments of time and allows both load and resistance to change from time period to time period. Thus, the time and location of damage and rainwater intrusion is known. The companion paper utilizes the v...
