Abstract: When a natural disaster does significant damage to a structure, the resultant engineering and property insurance issues are staggering. This presentation will explore these issues in depth using the real-world example of a hurricane that nearly destroyed the presenter's house in southwest Florida in 2017
Learning Objectives: To understand what engineering challenges can occur when a structure is severely damaged by a natural disaster, and to understand lessons learned for engineers as professionals and as homeowners from building damage caused by a natural disaster. |
