This Rapid Response Grant (RAPID) project is to collect perishable damage, wave, storm surge, debris, and wind data from Super Typhoon Haiyan that made landfall in Philippines. Super Typhoon Haiyan may have been the strongest land falling tropical cyclone in recorded history. The data on wave, surge, and debris are characteristics of the storm and not highly dependent on the structures. Wind damage in the town of Tacloban and island of Samar sustained catastrophic wind and wave/surge damage. The Principal investigator will work in conjunction with representatives of Japan and Philippines Engineering Societies in collection of data.Because Super Typhoon Haiyan was (probably) the strongest recorded land falling storm in history, it represents one end of the envelope for design purposes. For this reason, ascertaining both the hazard and damage levels will give a good estimate of the types and quantities of damage, and failure mechanisms that might occur in the United States. Very strong low frequency wave/surge motions were noted during this storm with resulting catastrophic damage. Since these loadings do not exist in present standards, an improved understanding of the generation mechanisms, hazard levels, and structural damage will help to improve predictions of loading climate, and can be used to validate damage models. Documentation of damage of commercial buildings may permit assessment of wind speed intensity through reverse engineering.

这个快速反应补助金（RAPID）项目是为了收集在菲律宾登陆的超级台风海燕的易腐损害，波浪，风暴潮，碎片和风数据。超级台风海燕可能是有记录以来最强的登陆热带气旋。波浪、涌浪和碎屑的数据是风暴的特征，对结构的依赖性不高。塔克洛班镇和萨马尔岛遭受了灾难性的风灾和海浪/浪涌破坏。首席研究员将与日本和菲律宾工程学会的代表合作收集数据。由于超级台风海燕（可能）是历史上有记录以来最强烈的陆地风暴，因此它代表了设计信封的一端。因此，确定危害和损害等级将对损害的类型和数量以及可能在美国发生的故障机制做出很好的估计。在这场风暴中，人们注意到了非常强烈的低频波浪/浪涌运动，造成了灾难性的破坏。由于这些负载不存在于目前的标准，更好地了解的生成机制，危害水平，结构损伤将有助于提高预测的负载气候，并可用于验证损伤模型。商业建筑损坏的文件可以通过逆向工程评估风速强度。
