*Hurricane Loss Analysis for Single-family Houses Considering Current and
Changing Climate Conditions*



October 6, 2020

11am-12pm PST



Hurricanes are among the most costly natural hazards affecting communities
worldwide, in terms of both property damage and loss of life. The landfall
of a hurricane involves different hazard sources (i.e., wind, windborne
debris, flood, and rain) that interact to generate the hazard scenario for
a given structure. Hence, a novel multi-hazard methodology is required to
accurately estimate the risk due to hurricanes and to provide easily
interpreted guidance to insurers, emergency administrators, builders, and
owners on how to reduce potential losses.



This presentation will illustrate a novel probabilistic Performance-Based
Hurricane Engineering (PBHE) framework that is based on the total
probability theorem.



*Presenter Michele Barbato* is a professor in the Department of Civil &
Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Davis. He is an
expert in both traditional and innovative construction methodologies and
materials, with particular emphasis on new recycled and green materials. He
is active in the development of performance-based methodologies in
earthquake, wind, and hurricane engineering, as well as in multihazard
applications.
