- 1. Wind Hazard Damage Assessment •Made up of students engaging in forensic engineering and wind damage surveys •Our goal is to be able to create a network of damage assessment teams equipped to be immediately mobilized in the event of a hurricane or tornado
- 3. What is Forensic Engineering • The investigation of structures, in our case, residential structures or components that fail. • Develop structural systems that are appropriate for both hurricanes and tornadoes throughout the state of Florida.
- 4. Research Goals • Develop engineering solutions for tornadoresilient, and sustainable housing communities • Making Florida building practices more applicable nationwide • Practical solutions to mitigate damage • Help to reduce the extensive losses and disruption to normal life.
- 5. Deployment • Organize a team, equipment, and travel arrangements, within days after an event in order to conduct on the ground surveys • Arrive on site, 5-7 days after an event • Systematically collect spatially related engineering data, 3-4 days onsite
- 6. Forensic Investigation in Lake Placid, Florida • On June 24, 2012, Tropical Storm Debby spawned 18 tornadoes, one of which tracked through Lake Placid, Florida. • Damage Included: – Loss of the roof deck – Broken glass – Relatively significant roof covering loss – Metal edge flashing and gutters.
- 7. Forensic Investigation in Vero Beach, Florida • On August 27, 2012, Tropical Storm Isaac induced an EF-1 tornado in Vero Beach, Florida • 104 homes within its 1.6 mile path. • Damage include: – Loss of more than 20% roof covering material – Damaged carports or porches – Broken windows – Loss of a few metal panels and accessories

- Picture Deployment to Joplin
- Picture from Deployment to Moore Our goal would be to retrace the processes and procedures that lead to failure in order to develop structural systems that are appropriate for both hurricanes and tornadoes throughout the state of Florida.
- Picture: Deployment to Moore Examine whether building practices, like those adopted in Florida to prevent hurricane damage could help with protecting structures against tornadoes Propose practical solutions to mitigate damage to low-rise construction and existing residential structures Social: Help communities to be better able to cope with a disaster, by reducing damage to structures through better engineering
- Picture: Deployment to Moore
- On-the-ground damage investigations homes between Lake June Rd and Cloverleaf Rd damage amounted to many of the homes in the 5 mile damage path
- On August 27, 2012,Tropical Storm Isaac induced an EF-1 tornado in Vero Beach, Florida that caused significant damage to approximately 104 homes within its 1.6 mile path. The tornado mainly targeted two local mobile homes parks, where the typical buildings consist of double-wide manufactured homes built between 1989 and 1992.The observed damage amounted to many of the homes having a loss of more than 20% roof covering material, severely damaged carports or porches, broken windows, and loss of a few metal panels and accessories.
