Physics-based framework for wind speed estimation from wind-borne debris flight imagery

Daniel I. Yahya, David B. Roueche, Frank T Lombardo

Non-synoptic wind events, such as tornadoes and downbursts, account for significant weather-related fatalities and billions of dollars in property damage annually in the United States. Yet understanding of near-surface wind characteristics remains limited, in large part due to measurement challenges. Debris flight …

A Comparative Floor Assembly Design and Life-Cycle Assessment Study of Steel–Timber and Steel–Concrete Composite Structural Systems

Emma Rohde Ellrich, Brian K. Via, David B. Roueche, Kadir C. Sener

Abstract Steel-timber composite (STC) structures, which utilize mass-timber cross-laminated-timber (CLT) floor panels compositely connected to steel framing, have emerged as a viable alternative structural system with a low carbon footprint along with potential improvements in the structural performance and constructability against traditional …

Wind Uplift Resistance of Discontinuous Metal Roofing Systems: Literature Review and Experimental Research

David O. Prevatt, Oscar Lafontaine, Irina N. Afanasyeva, David B. Roueche et autres

Damage to building envelopes, roofing, and wall cladding systems remains a major concern during high wind speed events such as hurricanes and tornadoes. Roofing systems are particularly vulnerable to wind damage, which can lead to extensive water leakage and damage to building …
