简介2005年8月29日，飓风卡特里娜在路易斯安那州海岸登陆，报告为4级飓风。CDT时间上午9点左右，风暴中心经过路易斯安那州新奥尔良以东约30英里处。为了了解和改善城市地区高层建筑上的玻璃和覆层在与飓风相关的极端风中的性能，圣母大学的NatHaz建模实验室进行了一项现场勘测研究，以评估新奥尔良中央商务区及周边地区多座高层建筑的玻璃和覆层受损情况。这项研究的另一个重点是调查垂直疏散的有效性--允许公民通过在工程结构中寻求海拔较高的避难所来躲避飓风的洪水。
Introduction On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the coast of Louisiana reported as a Category 4 hurricane. The center of the storm passed approximately 30 miles to the east of New Orleans, Louisiana around 9 AM CDT. In an effort to understand and improve the performance of glass and cladding on tall buildings in urban areas to extreme winds associated with hurricanes, the NatHaz Modeling Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame conducted a field reconnaissance study to assess the damage to the glass and cladding of a number of tall buildings in the Central Business District of New Orleans and surrounding areas. An additional focus of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of vertical evacuation – allowing citizens to escape the flood waters of hurricanes by seeking shelter at higher elevations in engineered structures.
