Abstract for: Wind Hazards Documentation Initiatives --- CMS-0535344 PI: Bogusz J Bienkiewicz, Colorado State UniversityThe performance of structures during extreme wind events is an ultimate validation of effectiveness of advances in design and construction practices. These real-world full-scale testsprovide information that would be very difficult to duplicate in laboratory experiments and it seems logical to study the damages that take place. From this information and from inferred wind speeds occurring during such events it should be possible to develop countermeasures to eliminate or reduce potential future damage. In view of the pressing needs in the area of wind hazards reduction and benefits of coordinated damage investigations demonstrated by the earthquake engineering community, over the past two years American Association for Wind Engineering (AAWE) undertook three initiatives in the area of wind damage documentation. In 2003 two research teams were sent to investigate representative damages due to significant tornadoes and a major hurricane. In 2004, a one-day workshop was organized, following the hurricane season. This proposal seeks reimbursement of travel costs associated with the three initiatives. A brief presentation of the background information, the scope of the research effort and justification of the requested funds are included in this proposal.The broader impact of this SGER proposal is the ability to systematically address issues of wind damage investigations and damage documentation. Both these broader impacts will aid development of guidelines for analysis and design of wind-resistant buildings and structures. These efforts will ultimately lead to reduction in loss of human life and property due to wind.The intellectual merit of this proposal will include the ability to develop methodology for systematic and coordinated acquisition, documentation and dissemination of data on winddamages.

摘要：风灾害文件倡议 - CMS-0535344 PI：Bogusz J Bienkiewicz，科罗拉多州立大学极端风事件期间的结构性能是对设计和施工实践进步有效性的最终验证。这些真实世界的全面测试提供了在实验室实验中很难复制的信息，研究所发生的损害似乎是合乎逻辑的。根据这一信息和推断出的此类事件发生时的风速，应该可以制定消除或减少未来潜在损害的对策。鉴于减少风灾的迫切需要和地震工程界所证明的协调损害调查的好处，在过去两年中，美国风力工程协会（AAWE）在风灾记录领域采取了三项举措。2003年，两个研究小组被派去调查重大龙卷风和一场大型飓风造成的代表性损失。2004年，在飓风季节之后举办了一次为期一天的讲习班。本提案要求报销与这三项举措有关的差旅费。本建议书简要介绍了背景信息、研究工作的范围和申请资金的理由。本SGER建议书的更广泛影响是能够系统地解决风灾调查和灾害记录问题。这些更广泛的影响将有助于制定防风建筑和结构的分析和设计指南。这些努力将最终导致减少风造成的人命和财产损失，这一建议的知识价值将包括能够制定系统和协调地获取、记录和传播风灾数据的方法。
