Abstract
The author traveled to both islands within a few weeks of the storms and conducted a survey of the damage, focusing on buildings of conventional construction, but also including engineered buildings. Observed damage was analyzed to determine why the desired level of performance had not bee achieved. The results and findings are presetned in this paper, along with observations regarding the wind design and construction requirements mandated by local codes.
