本文提出了一个初步的协议，用于评估屋顶系统和屋顶设备的关键设施的风脆弱性。这些设施包括紧急行动中心、消防站和警察局、医院、监狱、疗养院、发电厂、学校、供水和处理厂以及其他对提供重要服务或保护社区至关重要的建筑物。屋顶系统和屋顶设备是关键的建筑元素，经常在大风中损坏。受损屋顶或屋顶设备的泄漏中断了许多设施的运营，许多关键设施因屋顶泄漏而被迫撤离。通过识别风力脆弱性，可以采取缓解措施，以避免未来的损害和服务中断。设计专业人员可以使用初步协议来系统地指导他们对这些建筑元素的评估。
This paper presents a preliminary protocol for assessing the wind vulnerability of roof systems and rooftop equipment on critical facilities. Such facilities include emergency operations centers, fire and police stations, hospitals, jails, nursing homes, power plants, schools, water supply and treatment plants, and other buildings that are essential for the delivery of vital services or protection of a community. Roof systems and rooftop equipment are key building elements that are frequently damaged during high winds. Leakage from damaged roofs or rooftop equipment has interrupted numerous facility operations, and many critical facilities have been forced to evacuate due to roof leakage. By identifying wind vulnerabilities, mitigation efforts can be undertaken to avoid future damage and disruption of services. The preliminary protocol can be used by design professionals to systematically guide their assessment of these building elements.
