Analysis and Uncertainty Reduction through Data Augmentation in Hurricane Risk Modeling in the State of Florida
Otarola Farah, Daphne Raquel (2021-05)The Florida Public Hurricane Loss Model (FPHLM) and the Florida Public Flood Loss Model (FPFLM) project insurance losses due to hurricane events in the State of Florida from hurricane induced wind, rain, and flood. This ... -
BUILDING EXPOSURE STUDY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND APPLICATION TO THE FLORIDA PUBLIC HURRICANE LOSS MODEL
Michalski, Joshua R (2016-12)Modeling hurricane events with models such as the Florida Public Hurricane Loss Model (FPHLM) is essential for insurance and reinsurance companies to estimate projected losses. Additionally, the models can be used by ... -
Damping of Seismic Vibrations of a 3D Asymmetrical Building Model with Multiple TMD’s
Pinelli, Jean-Paul; Chen, Kai; Gutierrez, Hector; Rusovici, Razvan (2014-07)In this paper, the authors investigate the control of the seismic response of a three dimensional asymmetrical tier-building model, with a combination of three tuned mass dampers (TMD) located on the upper floor of the ... -

Estimation of Interior and Contents Damage Due to Wind Driven Rain Ingress into Mid/High-Rise Buildings
Wei, Zhuoxuan (2020-05)Hurricanes can lead to the loss of millions of dollars and the death of hundreds of people. The increasing concentration of people in coastal cities, exacerbates this problem and results in greater hurricane damage to ... -
Maintenance and Improvement of the Florida Public Hurricane Loss Model
Miller, Nicholas Wayne (2016-12)The Florida Public Hurricane Loss Model (FPHLM) predicts insurance losses due to hurricane events. This thesis describes maintenance tasks of the vulnerability component of the FPHLM. First, it explores the applicability ... -
Modeling of Hurricane-Induced Interior and Contents Damage and Associated Time-Related Expenses to Residential Buildings
Silva de Abreu, Roberto Vicente (2019-05)Hurricanes are a main cause of economic losses in many parts of the world, including the state of Florida. They affect the exterior, interior, and the contents of residential buildings. The damage of the interior can be ... -
Tornado and Hurricane Hazards: Reconnaissance, Structural Analysis and Vulnerability Modeling
Plaz, Fernando Simon (2018-07)This thesis is composed of three main projects which are directly linked to wind engineering. Hazards such as tornadoes and hurricanes are natural disasters which causes human and economic losses. First, the study consists ... -
Vulnerability Model of Residential Structures Subject to Hurricane Induced Wind, Surge and Inundation
Baradaranshoraka, Mohammad (2017-09)Annualized hurricane-related losses to the built environment in the United States are in the billions of dollars. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in 2010 39% of the United States population, ...
