RAPID: Wave, Surge, and Wind Hazard and Damage from Super Typhoon Haiyan

这个快速反应赠款(RAPID)项目是收集在菲律宾登陆的超级台风海燕的易腐烂损害、海浪、风暴潮、碎片和风的数据。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、涌浪和泥石流的数据是风暴的特征，对结构的依赖性不高。塔克洛班镇和萨马岛的风灾遭受了灾难性的风灾和海浪/巨浪破坏。首席调查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的登陆风暴，从设计角度来说，它代表了信封的一端。因此，同时确定危险和损坏级别将很好地估计损坏的类型和数量，以及可能在美国发生的故障机制。在这次风暴中，观测到了非常强烈的低频波浪/浪涌运动，造成了灾难性的破坏。由于目前的标准中不存在这些载荷，因此对产生机制、危险程度和结构损伤的了解将有助于改进对载荷气候的预测，并可用于验证损伤模型。商业建筑损坏的记录可以通过反向工程来评估风速强度。

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.
